Wrist watches. There oughta be a law...
My watch needs to be sent to a service center to have the battery changed. Not just a local watch shop, but the manufaturer's distribution service center. Usually there is one or two per country. They change the battery, clean and lubricate the mechanism, install a new gasket, then pressure test the unit to 200m of water. (It's a dive watch with built in computer.) This process takes a few weeks and costs a couple of hundred dollars. That's almost as much as the watch cost new! I think I'm going to go back to using pocket sundials.
