The Tissot PowerMatic 80 Movement: 80 Hour Power Reserve--Your thoughts/oberservation
MWas looking at watches and came across the Tissot PowerMatic 80 movement, which as its name implies, has a power reserve of 80 hoursfixed. Right now, I think, though I could be wrong, it is exclusive to Tissot, but I'd guess will be farmed out through the Swatch family, if it already hasn't.Anyway, the movement is officially called the ETA C07.111. Here's a very thorough rundown of the watch it is used in, and the movement itself. Tissot Luxury Automatic Powermatic 80 Review | watch reviews on worn&woundIn a nutshell, the C07.111 is based on the 2824-2.

Problem with ROO 44mm novelty
So I noticed the crown was rough to turn during wind up after about 5 revolutions. The watch had sat for about a week and was this fully unwound. I stopped and hoped the watch would continue winding itself automatically on my wrist tonight, which It did. Just got home and decided to try again and found it was still rough. Not only that, but it won't change the date anymore. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
