[Question] battery replacement (alien.top)

Is it worth it to replace a battery in a LaCoste watch? It was a gift some time ago and has since kicked the bucket. If I remember correct it was about $225 retail

If it’s not worth it, what is a good option in that price range? I’m not a flashy person so recs on a understated or minimalist design is preferable.

Yeah, you're right, sorry. That wording was a bit off. But an empty battery is not "kicking the bucket", it's just regular (and cheap) maintenance.

So, as others have said, if you plan to wear it at all or if you plan on selling it, you should have that battery changed.
