Hi
My Suunto Vector watch battery expired a few weeks ago after a good 14 months use. Since then I have tried several barttery makes and the watch only works for about 48hours. My most recent attempt was with a Duracell Battery/Kit bought on Internet and this lasted onl;y 48 hours. Before the battery ran out, the watch operated perfectly.
I paid a lot for the watch and it is a shame not being able to use it. Can you help? Thanks
Regards
Tommy

mcdevito75 here, Double check the battery install, make sure all contacts are clean, with the watch open see all buttons depress and are hitting points on the movement. When done, presss the mode button and display should come up.

If you continue to have problems with your watch, and the instructions in the user manual don't resolve your problem, you may have to return the watch to Suunto.
Your watch must be registered with them, you'll need the serial number of the watch, which is located on the back case. You'll have to get an RMA from Suunto in order to send it back to them.
Here's their warranty info:

You wouldnt think a whole lot could go wrong with a Suunto battery change. If they had trouble getting the coin access back off and unscrewed the case then the button contacts might be out of line causing your problem. You might also check to be sure that they put the right battery in and that there are no pry marks as sometimes there are problems getting the battery out. If any excessive pressure was placed on the circuit board and it cracked it will need to be replaced.
