Watches sold on cruise ships

Last year really wanted a Princess 50th anniversary, less $ than the same watch on land.

Nearly bought an Inivta a few years back 1000s less than on land.

I am a watch addict (only for mechanical watches), and I am happy to hear that I will not be tempted to buy the watches described as for sale on ships. However, I will bring my formal watches since I rarely dress up (...as for dinner on board...) and it provides an opportunity to do so. If I find a really inexpensive quartz watch with a picture of the ship, I will probably buy it for a gift for an unfavored relative.;)

Bought my wife a $10 watch on the Oosterdam in 2008. One battery change and it is still going strong.

In recognition of a significant annversary, I presume.

Why would anyone replace the battery on a $10 watch? It would probably be cheaper to buy a new $10 watch.
