Winding Problem! It's my first Omega, too

Hi - I bought my first "expensive watch" that I just love looking at it. It's really nice and I like it a lot. It's a seamaster 2254.50. I got it from an online store. The problem that I have is winding. I wear it EVERYDAY and I know I don't move a whole lot because I sit staring at the computer all day long. So, I know I need more movement to keep the watch running, thus I've purchased a watch winder. I keep it in the winder at night when I sleep, running 100 seconds clockwise, pause for 300 seconds, and 100 seconds counter clockwise. However, my watch somehow end up dead (not running) after 1 1/2 day. Can anyone help me? I certainly don't want to have to turn the crown every other day and I don't want to run it on the winder for hours exposing it to overstressing.

Thanks for any help.
