So my experience with my watch took a turn for the worse. I realized on Friday that the alarm wasn’t working since I took it in for a battery replacement. Turns out when I turn the backlight on it makes a weird buzzing sound. I bet that has to do with the fact that the alarm does not plan at all. I took it back to Tourneau (since I bought it there and they changed the battery in the first place). They looked at it for a second and said I had to send it in. To say I was ticked off would be an understatement. I was furious. They changed a friggen battery and then the watch (not exactly a timex) didn’t work right. So I explained that to them. They gave me the song and dance about it is an electronic device, bla bla bla, things happen, etc. I understand that, but it wasn’t like the dam thing just stopped working. I gave it to them for a 10 minute piece of maintenance and they give it back to me not working. The clincher was that the watch had to go back to Omega for service. They said that would take 6-8 weeks. Having no other options I gave the watch in for service.
At least I got an answer to an age old question I had. You can get really horrible service at an expensive store just like you would at Walmart. I will probably be sporting my Dad’s old watch until I get mine back. Not the end of the world (i will admit that), but just an annoyance!
