Agreed....

In Response To: Re: Ocean Planet: Power reserve ()

: ... but I've noticed that if I leave it

: The power reserve is only about 40 hours. If it
: stopped after 2 days that is normal.

: 1) Wear it at least 8 hours a day with only
: minimal hand movement and you should have no
: problem...and it should never need winding.
: Winding down does not hurt the watch, but
: constantly hand-winding and screwing down
: the crown will wear the crown a little
: prematurely.

: In short, the watch was meant to be worn...not
: looked at in a box. Wear it and it will work
: fine.

I seems that all that needs to be done is giving the watch more wrist time. Without any 'action' the watch will die in about 40hrs.... That's the consequence of using springs instead of batteries to store energy.
