    Battery Drain question

    Hello everyone. I have a quick question about battery power. I have a new Timex Expedition and i've done this in the past with other watches, but basically since i like to workout and eat smaller meals every 2 1/2 hours I set my CDT for 2 hours and 30 mins and just let it run and when it beeps it's time to eat. well if i'm doing that all day and multiple days in a row how much battery drain am i looking at?? The alternative would be to set the alarm for the time i would be eating and then just reset it for the next time and so on and so on. And no getting a solar powered is not an option lol.

    Impossible to tell - it depends on the watchdesign, type of battery, ammount of current that is drawn etc. But to be honest - who really cares about?

    A short Tutorial on „How to use and calibrate a Casio Altimeter“:

    1. Attach a string to your Casio AB(C) watch (feel free to use any length)
    2. Abseil the watch into an Abyss until you hold the string’s end between your fingers
    3. Get the watch up again
    4. Use a measuring tape to measure the string length
    5. Success! Now you have carefully calibrated the Altimeter
    6. Important!!! The Altimeter Lock will stay enabled, unless you shorten or lengthen the string
