Evening folks

Just to share a story of my friend issue who just bought a ROO last week. So he suspected that the watch have an issue. Here is the case: when the watch turn off, no matter how many times he shake to watch, after 1-2 minutes the watch will stop, but then he give a winding about 40 times, the watch can last about 48 hours. Can some expert here give an explanataion why is it like that?

Moreover when he wear the watch, if its around 48 hours the watch will stop. It means there is a problem with the movement as normally as long as we wear an automatic watch, after we gave full wound it wont stop until we dont wear it for several days.

Need your help to explain this. Thanks

Clearly movement alone is not engaging the self winding mechanism. Yes that is a problem

My jumbo had the same issue too when bought new. Had to send it back and get it fixed. Basically, the rotor is not moving freely as it is supposed to be.

I see. Do you think if he send it to manufacture it will takes like 5 weeks or more? Or its easy to fix?

Likely or even longer. After they get it repaired, they still need time to do tests on it. Easy or not, I'm not sure.

Call APSC, varies from country to country but they're pretty quick about repairs.
