I've always used Energizer. I get 6-7 weeks from a regular AAA
Energizer battery, using the backlight frequently but not the vibrate
alarm. I know some people have reported problems when they used
Duracell or some other brand. Energizer batteries are available
everywhere and they're not a huge expense so I don't bother
experimenting with cheaper brands. It's not worth it to me.
