Power reserve issue ?

My newly bought FC 44mm is losing time when not worn. Wound it 40 times and wear it for a day it keeps time perfectly however when I left it for the bed it has lost 15 minutes in approximately 8 hours. Should I bring it to be serviced ?

I read somewhere there are power reserve issue with some ROO. My previous 42mm ROO runs perfectly. Any experiences with the same issue ? Thank you

Yes , send it back to AP .
How old is your watch ? l'm guessing H series as don't have vertical grain finish on bezel so maybe its due service. Should not be losing 15 minutes

Yes you are correct it is H series. I will keep track till tomorrow if something pops up I will bring it to service. It has been working fine now (unworn for two hours).

15 minutes is insane, service is clearly due.

I didn't know H series had different finishing on the ceramic bezel. Can anyone post the difference?

Yes, that's too much, just check it again and make sure you are also counting from the same point.

Older models had the rainfall style bezel not crisp vertical lines such as below.

Slept for 6 hours. Watch still running accurately with 0 problem. Yesterday I noticed that the minute hands won't move at around 11.30 to 11.50 position. Any known issues there ? My RM used to have the same problem and since been serviced (minute hand got stuck in few specific positions even though the watch running fine)

I had an issue with the power reserve of my ROC and shipped it back to AP in Clearwater and they fixed it in no time. It's been great since. Definitely needs a service
