So I've been having an issue where my watch stops running around 6am after I take it off around 6pm the night before. Is this normal? Am I not being active enough during the day to keep it wound? I have a BB with the 70hr in house movement. This is my first self-winding watch so not really sure what to expect...

Nope. Not normal. Wind it manually and see how long it runs.

I can take mine off and it will last at least 2 nights, and I'm not more active than average.

Will try that. How long do you think I have to wind it for until it's fully wound?
