Ask for a video showing this watch while working. I tested it four time and it maintain good time after four hours on all four occasions. One one occasion it started and then stopped after twenty seconds. Then it was started again and it ran smoothly until I stopped it (four hours). A good friend of mine who's a time piece authority said that it just needs a good internal cleaning.
