I misunderstood what you meant in the seiko 5 comment. My bad.
Also, didn’t realize we were talking about a battery powered watch. That’s even more silly.
Here’s a video of the battery replacement for a shinola runwell. Takes the dude like 30 seconds to open the case.

I still don’t believe that. Who told you this?
Edit: that’s also not true for the seiko 5, which is a common mod watch for amateurs

They can do that, not sure what OP is talking about. As you say, it’s just a regular automatic with a sellita movement that any watch guy can repair

Okay so this seems untrue to me. Shinola has well known shady marketing practices with the whole “made in Detroit” thing. But ultimately shinola uses the same movement that shit tons of other watches use and they are not unreliable. The mechanical watches use Sellita movements which are high quality Swiss movements that are mass produced
Also, whoever told you a regular watch guy can’t do the job is full of shit.

If you’re looking for a work type belt (not a dress belt) I love the shit out of the one I got from Duluth. It’s just a single strip of full grain leather. 4 years in with at least 3 years of daily use and still soft to the touch and no cracking or signs of drying out.
Haven’t found a decent dress belt though. Planning to try hanks as soon as my current belt wears all the way out

All of the notes I made after those 30 days are gone, I need them back. Recommended software or techniques or anything is very helpful. by Supa_Dingus
Only possibility is they might be stored on your iCloud. So log in with a browser and see what’s there

Well, most watch manufacturers will strongly recommend you send it to them for repairs, but for them to tell you it’s required just for a fucking battery replacement is pretty bonkers. Not clear why 3rd party watchmakers agreed with them too.
I like the runwell style, but shinola is about as as shady as they come with their marketing practices.
