haha... the big second hand is suppose not to move unless you press the top chronograph button, to stop press again the top button... to reset press the bottom button..

it is a stopwatch my friend :) try it .. but don't play too much will it..

no problem ... If I am not wrong your watch comes with an A7750 movement... enjoy your watch and remember to use the stopwatch sparingly as a7750 movements are known to have problems..

Adjust the date at 6 'oclock position( do not adjust the date anytime from 10pm to 2 am) and wind at the position if possible... trust me on that.. I've been through it many times..

i wouldnt recommend using the chrono as well.

i tried it once, and the whole watch stopped moving, until i stop and reset the chrono.

you should really inform yourself about how to handle the asian 7750 chrono.

otherwise, you can breake it FAST !

( not only the asian version, the swiss also )

read about how to adjust your date.....

i recommend not using the chrono to often......in this way my chrono works fine for 2 years already.

DO NOT WIND THE WATCH BY HAND ( to be on the safe side )

read.....read.....read. then you will enjoy your watch loooooooooooooonger !

one beautiful watch......honestly.

i recommend to wind it by making the rotor spin......with smooth osscilating movements....no hardcore shaking.
i had mine on a watchwinder.

I read somewhere that the 7750 doesn't get charged on a watch winder

I had one of those, very nice indeedy. Mine broke though, the main second hand would not reset properly and then just died altogether.

Think it lasted about a year, it would have lasted longer if I hadnt fiddled about with it to try and make it reset properly but all in all I think these movements can be very temperamental.
