Yeah, it's odd. So what I'm doing is just swirling it a bit and that gets it going but if I don't remember to do so during the day, it often stops.
I put it down to my computer job and the fact I don't move enough with it on (when i work out/swim, i take it off)
Because.. I have a genuine Tissot Men's Tissot Couturier Chronograph watch and that used to bug me too, i'd have to wear early morning to night every day or it would stop.
So I guess I'm just accepting now that I have to set the time and swirly swirl when i put on my watch in the morning (whether it's this one or my genuine tissot). Kind of annoying but I guess i should move more.
Anyway, the pilot looks great so I'm happy with my purchase from Trusty Time.
