Does any souls here own a Breitling Cockpit B50?

is the battery problems of the Breitling B50 a very common problems?

If I buy the Breitling B50, and I send it to Breitling to do a complete service including changing the B50 movement into the latest B50 movement, will it fix this battery problems?

Does the latest B50 movement still have the battery problems?

usually how many days will the battery last after 1 full charge?

Please discuss here.

Any info is much appreciated

I do, since late 2017.

is the battery problems of the Breitling B50 a very common problems?

They were in 2015, but I don't know about now. I never had any problems.

If I buy the Breitling B50, and I send it to Breitling to do a complete service including changing the B50 movement into the latest B50 movement, will it fix this battery problems?

You'd have to ask Breitling.

Does the latest B50 movement still have the battery problems?

I doubt it.

usually how many days will the battery last after 1 full charge?

My battery goes down to 75% in one month, and then I recharge it. Please note that in my watch, the battery goes from 88% to 80% within a day, without any intermediate numbers. I asked Breitling about this in 2017, and they said it was not a problem (I didn't like their answer, but in fact it was not a problem for me).

Hope this helps.

Please discuss here.

I've had my B50 for about 4 years; bought it secondhand from another WUSer

Haven't had any battery problems, though I do remember some early adopters running into issues

Mine will usually last 75-90 days on a full charge. I wear it every day, use the stop watch and backlight virtually every day.
