WATCH POP

...and is there any difference in the text on the warranty card that states that the length of covered service has changed?

thanks. The Warranty period isn't dependent on what the warranty card says. It's dependent on when the watch was purchased. The older off white cards state a 1-Year Warranty. But these cards are still in circulation out there somewhere. Watches sold on or after Jan 1, 2002 have a 2-Year Warranty (3-Year for Co-Axials). The newer red warranty card does not specify a warranty period, but refers you to the instruction manual for warranty information. nt
