Not enough of an initial wind perhaps
I find that during the day my watch is able to maintain the power reserve that it had at the beginning of my day. That is, normal wear does not add extra power to the reserve. So if I started out with a half fully wound watch, it will be that way at the end of the day. If you say that you only wind the watch a few turns before wearing it, and assuming that it had no power reserve prior to your winding, I would say that it may last only a couple hours, if at rest in your locker, before it losses what little power you gave it with your few turns. As the earlier poster suggested, wind at least 50 times, preferably 100 if starting your day with a stopped watch.
Help needed concerning my Squadra
Hi there, I hope some of the enlightened members of the board could help with my problem. My JLC Squadra hometime appears to lose all its power over a 90min period. Initially I wind it up, just a couple of turns then wear it over a period of 5 hours. When...
Ok...
Please follow the following guidelines. Give the crown around 50 turns. Then, don't wear the watch, let it quiet without moving it, and check how many hours it will work. My guess is that you didin't wind it enough, and that 5 hours of wearing may largely...

Hello Sean!
That happened to me with one of my SQ HT. Don’t know what kind of work you have but I sit behind a desk all day. Not a lot of movement, so I think like Nicolas and Bob suggested give it a few more turns. I have started to do that, never had any more troub...
Thanks
Thanks guys for the responses, I didn't give it 50-100 turns when I first got the watch as the instruction manuel said to turn a couple of time and then wear it. I have wound it now to approx 60 turns and will see if that makes a difference. Now I need to...
No sync between the two hour hands?!
Do you mean that they don’t go on top of each other or that they don’t move in the same rhythm, separated by whole hours? The offset function of the second hour hand is when you pull the crown out one step (normally date), two steps and you se...
