Life expectancy 5610u

I have got this beauty for €95 more or less. Does it worth to add €15 for 3 more years warranty (in total 5 years of warranty?
I have read that this watch doesnt require any service for at least 10 years.
How long does the electronic core last? Do you change seals and maintenance regularly?
:) I go to swimming pool and open water very often.

5610u mod with Titanium bezel+FKM strap

🥹🥹🥳☺️Finally all parts arrived for my 40 birthday. 5610u is on GRefit Titanium bezel and Juelong FKM 22mm strap with resin adaptors. +Brotect 9H screen protector. All in was exactly €200.
The watch got heavier, increased from 50g to 77g. Feel the upgrade with FKM strap.
I feel it is now heavy enough and definitely don’t want to add weight with stainless steel bezel or titanium strap.
I doubt about the ‘CTS’ cut to size strap with clasp coz sometimes i want the strap to be a bit loosen sometimes a bit tight. Depending on activities on the day.
I go to open water, swimming pools and maybe beach often as a coach and swimmer. Need a beater watch to be chemical-resistant to chlorine and sunscreen. Then, need it in classroom to teach. And take care of kids at home.
I was hesitating between 20mm and 22mm. And got no choice on Aliex with the adaptor. Only 22mm is available. Turned out, 22mm is the right choice even for my small 16cm wrist. The titanium bezel makes the watch look bigger. And 22mm can carry this ‘heavy duty’ feeling.

At this stage, i feel like it s a perfect watch for me. I would have anxiety to wear an expensive MR-G. Bluetooth is a minus feature for me. I don’t want to get alerted by my phone. I need a poorman watch to do the job. 👍🏿👍🏿😇
