Aqua Terra Power Reserve

Hi! My lawyer just got a beautiful black dial Omega Aqua Terra Seamaster Coaxial Automatic 150M watch. I was admiring the watch and the see through back, but my lawyer complained that he had one problem with the watch. Although its power reserve was stated to be 44 hours, it tended to stop after only 24 hours of use, thus forcing my lawyer to wear the watch every day. He can't even get a break to wear his Rolex once in a while. The watch is very new and bought in Singapore as a present from his wife. Does any one have any advice on this problem? I adviced my lawyer to let the watch rest after having worn it everyday for several days and find out when it stops, then return it to the Singapore shop or authorized Omega service center and count on the warranty if he finds the power reserve to be significantly below 44 hours. Incidentally, my lawyer is a very active person as active as a professional could be that is. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
