Hi,

I took delivery of my new Carrera A7750 Chrono this week.

It seems to have a little feature / problem where the chrono second hand stops for about a second just as the chrono minute hand clicks over ... you can see it in this demo video at approx 1:27, watch the second hand as it stops on the 59 second marker ...

I wanted to check with you guys if this was a "feature" that all these watches have or if it's an issue just with mine, BTW the watch is also losing time, about 5 -10 mins per day .. just incase it's related.

Please note I wound the mech a good 15- 20 times and gently shook the watch for a good 3 - 4 mins before starting the chrono to ensure there was enough power in the reserve as advised in other posts.

Sorry if this has been covered before .. I have done a quick search on here but couldn't find anything.

None of my A7750s do that or my Swiss 7750.

The dial on that carrera looks rubbish. The sub dial rings are huge. I think they may have improved it since it was first released.

Losing that much time a day would also be a worry. Get it serviced. Sending it back won't help as you still have very chance of it being a dirty movement when replaced.

Serviced these A7750s are pretty good. Mine all have been anyway.

Thanks chaw6125, how much have you paid for a service on a A7750 in the past? .. just so I have an idea when I go to the watch smiths.

Cheers

I paid £130 with Alex at UK watch services. That is a very fair price.
