Why does this watch eat batteries...I have had mine since February and I replace it once a week at least...Is there a different battery to use other than the standard 2032 you get from the store....

if you keep it in auto mode it will drain the battery really quick so try keeping it in altitude mode most of the time

sounds like there may be a circuit problem. Check the Suunto website under customer service for more info
