: Guys,
: I'd appreciate some help with this one.
: I've had a brand new Omega Seamaster Pro Auto
: (from an authorised dealer) for the past two
: weeks. During that time I wore it for 12+
: hrs a day.
: However it keeps stopping at night and almost
: on a daily basis I have to manually wind it.
: Do think this is normal for a new watch or
: should I send it back for repair?
If the watch is FULLY wound, it should not be stopping in the middle of the night. Before sending it in for repair, make sure it is 100% fully wound by winding the crown until you hear a clicking noise as you wind (with the watch held close to your ear). This is the overwind protection mechanism kicking in, which confirms that the watch is fully wound. At this point you should have at least 42 hours of power reserve.
If the watch still stops, then it definitely needs to be repaired under warranty.
