Rolex Datejust 36 power reserve less than 48 hours

[dauntless84]

Good Morning/Evening Gentlemen,

I purchased a Rolex Datejust few months ago brand new. While I love the watch, I have a concern in regards to power reserve. It lasts less than 48 hours.

I tested it once winding it around 40 times and realized that within the 48 hours, it doesn't show the right time, its running slow then.

Do I need to wind them every morning? Is the watch designed to perform for 24 hours?

Any answers would really be appreciated.

On a full manual wind thats 40 plus full crown turns clockwise only, movement should run then off wrist around 39-48 hours give or take a hour or so.When wearing with reasonable wrist activity it should keep it running over night while off wrist. Dont forget wearing does not wind your watch, its wrist movement thats what winds your watch.
