Because it runs off the nuclear cells in the watch and it come with a Warranty so if u do in to any issues with the watch they will take care of it for u. Btw I like with watch people who see it love it and so do I if I had the money id buy an other one for my self because I bought this as a gift for my best friend I hope this helps. It's also water proof and glows in the dark.

The watch does not need recharging or batteries because of the nuclear fission that is happening inside the watch. It has to do with the radioactive (but safe) hydrogen atoms destroying themselves over time with a half-life age of 12.3 years. Thus, the watch's glow will last at least 24 years. The claim of no maintenance is one made by the manufacturer, and we think they mean that there is no maintenance needed for the glow of the watch. However, if something were to break on the strap, for example, then obviously some maintenance may be needed.

Hello Tony, This remarkable watch provides a constant source of nuclear illumination for up to 25 years! You don't need batteries or maintenance of any kind for the glow; this watch will be lit for decades! So the watch does not use batteries for illumination, but this watch itself runs on batteries.

I've had the same experience. I think it has something to do with the batteries only being for the clock display; not to run the unit so you need to keep the radio plugged in when you play it, and when you "power" it off, the batteries keep the clock on. IDK it's a real lame feature and I sent the company a harsh review of the product basically saying it was a very poorly designed product. You probably saw my review about it but I wasn't happy.

Recharging is not an option that Ive found or needed. Ive had my mouse for months and am a heavy computer user. Ive not had any need to replace the batteries.

It does not use any battery. It connects to your source and the power is derived from your source i think.

No, it runs on tritium, no need for batteries; which is the appeal of the optics. Trijicon's website can elaborate.

It uses a 12-volt alkaline MN21 battery, like these: Duracell MN21B2PK Watch / Electronic/ Keyless Entry Battery, 12 Volt Alkaline

There is not a battery to make this clock operate. It is powered by a wall outlet.

It has one of those button batteries...I don't think it, therefore, it is rechargeable

The previous comment is correct. Its main function is just to preserve battery if you're operating on 9V. Although, the smartest option if using battery would be to remove it when not in use so you don't run the risk of slow discharge or accidentally turning it on when its stowed away. Lesson learned when I traveled to a remote location in Afghanistan only to discover it was dead. I resorted in only looking at 'safe stones' rather than the rubies and sapphires I had intended on purchasing.

It comes with a watch style battery for the site. Dont remember a power supply, that battery should last a very long time.

I suppose it could be the battery but I'm not sure as this has not happened with the watch for us. So sorry!

The watch did not include a replacement battery. I happen to have the manual sitting on my desk and it reads:"Battery replacement will be required from time to time, and should occur whe:-The display fades in part or completely- The Heart Rate function will not activateThe battery life will vary depending on usage of the light and hear rate features(which have high power consumption.We recommend the battery replacement be done by a watch repair service to ensure the water seals are not compromised during the process.The watch uses one(1) standard lithium replacement battery: CR2032."

I don't know what sort of battery it takes, but my battery had a very short life. I misplaced the watch before I could take it to the jeweler.

The Transmitter uses a #2032 watch like battery the Reciever doesn't use an internal battery

It receives its power from the telescope by way of the AUX connection. The GPS unit itself does not take batteries or have an A/C connection.

I believe it is the design to merely run off a battery pack. Since it is an emergency radio, the design asumes that electricity is not available for the average radio or television thus engaging this item to usage.

Watch battery powered. Since it's only an LED screen, it will not need battery replacement for many years.
