Greeting Folks,

I have a Yachtmaster that I only wear on special occasions and lately after setting the time, it only runs for 10-15mins and stops. Any suggestions before I send it in for servicing?

Thanks

How old is it? Has it suffered any severe trama? Do you keep it on a watch winder?

No trauma and the watch is on about 3 yrs old. No watch winder.
Thanks

It is not being fully wound. Either manually wind it after you set the time or put it on your wrist and exaggerate your wrist movement for a while. I would highly suggest a watch winder that will keep it wound for you so it's ready to go when you are.

Thanks for the info. Just how do you wind it fully? I will also try to pick up a watch winder this weekend.

unscrew crown to first position (just unscrewed, not pulled out further--shouldn't change time or date when you spin crown).

Then just wind it CW up to 40 times before you screw it back down.
