: Sounds like the watch is not stopping, just

: so the watch is not winding very much. You
: can either wear it for several more hours a
: day, hand wind it in addition to wearing the
: watch, or buy a winder--but it sounds like
: the watch is working just fine.
Thanks guys, you are quite correct there is nothing wrong with the watch. I did the test as you suggested and I got exactly the 44 hours as Omega state in the manual. I guess I will just have to wear it more often (and be more active) I have just splashed out on a Rapport watch winder though. I'll let you know how that performs.
Cheers. Raydpo
