I have currently owned a Tag heuer Carrera f1(the green one) for about 8 months and since I have received it I have had to continually wind the watch. It will keep perfect time when working and some days I will continue just to wind it when it is on my wrist to keep it ticking but eventually it will stop. This watch has never kept time without dying for over one week. I have made sure the strap is as close to my wrist as I can get it and I even keep it in a automatic watch winding box where it constantly spins trying to keep it wound up but no matter what I try it always quits ticking. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my favorite watch I own...

Sounds like it needs a service mate. 7750's are tricky little buggers. Take a look at our watch repairers section: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/forumdisplay.php/watch-repair-modification-experts-204 and find one closest to you who can work on a 7750.

Just like trailboss9 says...
7750's should have a little over 40 hours of reserve time. If you have to constantly wind it to keep it running, then there is something obviously wrong with the movement.
In most instances, the A7750's are delivered very dry, and are in dire need of at least an oiling service. The less friction in your watch, the better and longer it will last. When trying to run a "dry" watch, you increase mechanical stress, and it only gets worse.. potentially up to the point where you would need major service and/or replacement of parts.
Good luck with your watch!
