TomRiddle Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 question to evryone, how long have you had your UPO off before it stops ticking? I'm gonna switch up styles this weekend and go back to a gen Tag IRL 500 limited and was wondering if by Monday, my UPO would've stopped tickin already.. lol, anyone ever noticed how many days being left off until the UPO 'loses power' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I don't have mine at the moment but as of a month ago one was good for well over 40 hours (clsoer to 50) and the other for right around 40 hours. They are the ETA's and I gave them full wind at the same time. That is one of the first things I check when I get a rep. I once got one with 7 hours.

TomRiddle Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 A couple of days, Voldemort. maybe I'll use another Alias Eric Weisz ^^ bet that one you never heard of :X but i'll be surprised if you did thanks for the responses guys, I don't do the manual winding cuz well.. I don't know superstitious I guess I just use hand/wrist/movement but I'm gonna test it for this weekend, I took this UPO off last night when I got home and pretty much not putting it back on until Monday so let's see ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno I guess I don't test the reserve after all.. what I mean is that the two reps I've gotten so far basically come in and they're already ticking.. I guess from the shipment movement and whatnot so I just wear them and this is the first extended off my wrist period and I want to see if it'll survive a weekend of non-wear (Survive being if it'll still be tickin) but yea.. i know some people have written/posted their rituals of what they do once they get a new rep but I just hit the ground runnin I guess.. if it was already tickin when I got it, I don't wind it 40-50 times.. I just wear it and use it normally :X my head hurts now, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been wearing it for a week and had an active day, so there was every chance it was fully wound. But here is a question, why do we get power reserve indicators on a lot of auto but not manuals, If you are wearing an auto, then it would be wound most of the time unless you had not moved in 2 days, but a manual, if you forget to wind it one day or two then it will stop! I would say that an manual needs a PR more than and auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that an manual needs a PR more than and auto. When you own a manual you usually have a ritual of winding before bedtime. A PR indicator on an automatic makes sense. If not worn for a short time it will indicate reserve left and whether a short wind is necessary.....I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
