Hello @Ulrich Heidenreich, So the problem is the battery controller as suspected. It is quite a bit of effort, but I replaced the old controller board from the OE battery onto the replacement lithium cell and the watch has been working well since (last 50 days). Attempt this at your own risk... With all battery soldering you need to be as quick as possible and you need to use solder that is designed for aluminum/tin that has an appropriate flux. (1) Unwrap the black tape from the battery management controller on the original battery. (2) Desolder the two tabs from the controller board (needs at least 350c iron temp); Make Certain to identify and mark the polarity of the battery on the board.

I keep a bucket of sand on hand in case of emergency. (5) Note that the two new batteries that I had were the the opposite polarity of the OE battery, so some bending was...
