Re: New Constellation quartz loses 2h per day!

: Thank you for your support.

Two hours??? That's quite excessive.

I'd run, don't walk, back to your dealer and discuss what to do with the watch. Chances are, since you'd only bought it two days ago, he may be able to replace it with another and send yours back as defective...

Hopefully you can work something out.
