Hi,

The LCD screens started to blink a few weeks ago, showing that the battery needed replacement (but I think last time I had changed the battery was simply because the hands stopped moving, although not sure). I gave the watch to a shop and they changed the battery.
But since, when I slowly turn the button, the screens get backlit, as they should, but only for one second. And after that they start to blink again for 2 or 3 minutes then they stop blinking. Would you know why?

And second question : the "quick button rolling" to change directly the clock for one hour (instead of the slow button rolling, which changes the hand by 30s or 1mn) is very difficult to achieve, almost impossible. Sometimes I succeed in doing it after my 100th try. Is it supposed to be this hard?

Thanks!

All indications it's due for a service. The backlight issues and speed on the crown are usually the first indications. You'd think a quartz watch wouldn't need a service that often, and that's true, but the Aerospace usually lets you know when it's time. ;-)
