Does this watch turn off and how does that effect the battery life?

The watch does not turn off. However most battery powered watches don't turn off. I don't know how long the battery last I have only had mine for a month. I am sure it will be comparable to any other battery powered watch and the battery is easy to change. The instructions say the transponder on the chest strap will turn off and make the battery last longer if you disconnect it from the strap when not in use.

yes, the watch speaks the actual time, when you press the talking button and the alarm time when set. when not using the alarm, make sure that the bell is not showing. it drains the battery. when the watch stops working, due to a depleted battery, replacing the battery is difficult and if you actually, get the new battery installed, you generally lose the speaking feature. so, the watches are pretty much disposable. i have had several of these watches and have had to discard them after trying to change the battery and losing the speaking feature. hope this helps!

There is not an "off" button for when it is not in use - the clock still runs. BUT since the device only uses 1 battery, it would be very easy to remove it when it's not being used for time tracking purposes. I've had this running every day since I bought it a few months ago and still have not had to replace the battery. I use it approx. 5 days per week.

Yes, it automatically turns off after between 15 and 60 minutes while on battery if there's no activity, depending on the situation.

Normally, the battery in this watch will last at least a year perhaps longer.In my experience, you have a defective unit. Contact your seller.

It has a button (upper left button) that you push and it lights up for about ten seconds. I haven't found any way to might it stay on. I am guessing it would use some battery life if it stayed on. It is a nice entry level GPS watch. Having free access to Garmin Connect is a big plus. You can upload all yours runs, view them on maps, and have a running log created.

Don't think it can be turned off--but it's a display like on a digital watch; it won't drain the battery for a long time. One note on the batteries on this radio, however, you can re-charge rechargeable batteries in it, but it doesn't happen automatically you have to set it and it takes like 20 hours. I usually just leave mine 12 or so and it's fine, but I may be shortening the life of the battery to do so. Mostly, I am happy with this radio.

It stays on until you turn it off. And the battery seems to last quite a while in it.

No, it does not turn off. There is a switch with three settings; off, low, high. I make sure to unplug after each use to ensure that I turned off.

It turns itself off after a short time of inactivity, I have seen it! As it is doing so, it briefly displays "CASIO" in the screen.

It doesn't turn off automatically. You have to push the on/off button on the bottom of the mouse. Also, my only complaint about this mouse is how easy it is to accidentally turn it on by just carrying it in your computer bag. So I often remove the battery completely and then put it in when I use it.

1. How long does the battery (in the watch) last 3-5 years2. Lap memory is there until you override it with new information.3. Does it tell you too slow/fast? No, it does not pace you.

Unfortunately, it does not have an on/off button. But because of the clock feature you really wouldn't want it to. Plus it has good battery life so there really are no disadvantages due to its lack of an on/off switch. Hope this helps!

I don't think it turns off. It should not take too much battery life up.I returned m,ine, not because of that but because it was not what I expected. If you keep it, don't worry about the battery life. That is the lease of your problems.

If you are working out and press "stop", your time, miles, etc will keep on for about 5 minutes, then it will reset itself to the select screen. I usually turn it off completely.

I just changed the battery. It depends on usage. I have on average ran 3-4 times per week of about an hour. It lasts about 5 months, and is super easy to switch :-) I also use it as a watch every day. Hope this comment helps.

I think the answer is that it doesn't. You can lock it so that the pushbuttons don't activate any of the functions, but there is no on/off button and I don't think it ever powers off automatically. The good news is that it is a low power display and is probably similar to a wristwatch in power consumption. Some people actually pop out the two AAA batteries if they plan to store it for a long time.
