Well that's concerning too.
Prefacing this with I don't know much about this stuff:

Check out the blf forums. Reddit also used to have a great flashlight community but I avoid that site now. There are flashlight communities on Lemmy and kbin. Cheule is a good YouTube channel to check out.
Update: I opened it up, dropped a screw, bent the second hand and poorly bent it back, and now the day dial doesn't work right. I did not even fix the original issue. I fear I may have ruined this watch as it's probably more expensive to have serviced than to replace.
I think the real short term answer is a plug in hybrid LiFePo4 where the ICE is basically just a range extender.
Really all you had to do was ever hear anything from him. He was clear about who he was.
