Arrival check for a rep watch: winding, hacking, quickset and power reserve, what's normal and what isn't

Good instinct not to panic. A few points:

  • There is no single right number for a rep, because it depends on the movement inside. Compare with the figure given for that movement, if one is given at all; if none is given, treat your first result as the baseline.
  • Wind fully by hand (not by wearing), note the time, leave it dial-up and still.
  • Check it a couple of times a day and note when it stops.
  • Repeat once. If both results are similar, that’s your number. If they differ a lot, the wind may not have been full.

Timing accuracy is a separate question; the seven-day timing log thread has a simple method for it. Practical tip: write the results down; memory is useless for this.
