Hi all
 
I received the Fortis Marinemaster watch today.
Initially, I was pleased with it, although when I attempted to size the bracelet, one of the link retaining screws sheared off instead of unscrewing.  I was willing to let that slide.  Once I sized the bracelet, I wound the watch about 40-50 times, set the time to the time.gov website. After about 2 hrs it was running +1 second.  Then an hour later, it stopped! :shock: I was puzzled.  I wound the watch again, and it ran for about 15 seconds then stopped again.  I shook the watch a little, and it started to run again.  Now it has been running for about 30 minutes.
 
Obviously, I am very concerned.   
 
Any ideas from you good folks as to what might be going on here??
 
Should I just return it to the seller or have it serviced (at his expense)?
