Yes, they are slightly different. The SR44W and 357 are made to withstand better the continuous small drainage current from watches. The OM-2S, OM-4 and OM-4ti do not turn completely off. They each impose a very small drain on the cell when not in use. I get at least 6 months, usually about 9 months and sometimes upward of a year out of a pair of SR44W or 357 watch cells. Next best are the plain SR44 (camera) cells. Shouldn't make any difference with an OM-2 or OM-2n which can be turned completely off. Never be without a spare set of cells for the camera!

I can't explain it well, perhaps others can, but the SR44 and 357 are NOT
the same battery.  I believe the SR44W and 357 are the same battery (W
stands for Watch, as in wristwatch, I believe).  If I remember, the 357
handles high-drain situations (like an OM camera) better than the SR-44.

Anyone else want to jump in?
