I’ve had my 1Z for about 2 1/2 years and have about 2.500 hours on it and still get about the same battery time as when new. I never turn it off and a 90% charge gives me about 20 hours playtime and a weeks stand by so I just charge it every weekend. As Sony state the battery to last 500 charge cycles I’ve used about 125 so it should last another 7 years with the same use pattern

Also some people have asked me if I find it still relevant after 2 years with it. In my opinion the SQ of the wm walkman is unbeatable even by current offerings (if we take out the chord M scale and the DMP-1Z

Yes I fully expect to keep my 1Z until the battery dies

I'd just get the battery replaced at that point and get another 7 years out of it.

I must admit that I doubt replacing it would be possible after 10 years

Sony will probably have batteries that last 200 hours by then.

Judging from ZX2 which is 4 years old by now and still working good, I would say that battery on Sony DAPs are zombie like too. I have seen DX200 that is 3 years old and need battery replacements where as Zx2 is still lasting for days on a charge depend on usages ...lol

Sony still offers full battery replacement service for their F-800 series and A800 series Walkmans on their Japanese website which are 7 to 8 years old by now and those devices didn't even sell gangbusters (because iPod) unlike the WM1 series which are seriously loved by audiophiles. I think they would do 10 years for WM1 easily.

It definitely makes the Sony look like something out of Star Wars. I love the leather cases, but this one does look awesome.
