Ya, my watch functions were still perfect, but the chrono hour (and the second counter when I smashed the watch) were not reseting to zero; though sometimes they would. If it's not happening anymore, you might be fine. But I'd still be a little worried as it shouldn't happen at all if all is running perfectly. If you bought it new and it's still under your first year of warranty, consider taking it in to make sure there isn't anything damaged inside. If there is some damage (and it sounds like there could be) it's like having sheared metal inside your car engine. It'll run fine for awhile but it will eventually kill the whole thing (and make repairs very expensive). Maybe take it into an Omega Certified Fixer and get it assessed.

Hope that helps.
