I wore it on a two mile walk yesterday so it should have gotten enough movement. It was correct at around 9pm the last time I looked at it but when I woke up around 4am it said 12:00. I noticed the same a couple of days ago but I had taken it off overnight and thought it might have not been sufficiently wound.

Well, just to keep you focused on productive outcomes and not spinning wheels, if there is a problem, it’s not a planned thing. You may just have a problem with yours.

The only way to know what’s happening is wind the watch 100 times, hack it, set it to the exact second, set it upright for 24 hours, check it.

From there, you’ll know if it’s keeping time or not and can then investigate if there’s a power reserve or automatic winding problem.

Run it through it’s courses. You have time before you return it and you’ll definitely learn something from it. Look at the silver lining.

I’ve had this happen a couple of times and turns out it was my observation skills were lacking. I always wonder if that’s the case when I hear this because I’m not the type to just blow it observing something, so I know it happens to the best of us.

maybe I'm misunderstanding. You think they may be selling them at this steep discount because they know they are defective?

Sweet! I very nearly pulled the trigger on this one, myself. How big is your wrist, and how do you like the 36mm diver on it?
