Causes and solutions for replica watch stopping and intermittent stopping

　　Many friends who enjoy wearing replica watches may have experienced their replica watch stopping or stopping intermittently. This can happen with both quartz and mechanical watches. When encountering this situation, most people's first reaction is 'is the watch broken?'. So today we will discuss the causes and solutions for replica watch stopping and intermittent stopping.

　　What is intermittent watch stopping?

　　First, one must understand that intermittent watch stopping refers to the watch stopping while having sufficient power, or stopping for a moment before starting to run again. For example, if it worked fine all day, was left aside when going to sleep at night, and upon waking up the next morning it is found to be several hours slow or even stopped, this is a typical phenomenon of watch stopping.

　　Causes and solutions for mechanical watch stopping and intermittent stopping

　　1. Watch banking

　　Anyone whoMechanical watchhas some understanding of watches knows that automatic mechanical watches rely entirely on the movement of the arm to wind. Therefore, if a watch is left unworn for a long period or if the daily arm movement does not meet the winding requirements, the mainspring will lack sufficient potential energy, leading to unstable timekeeping or the watch stopping when not worn at night. The solution is to perform arc-like movements when we take the watch off, or use the manual winding function to wind the watch, ensuring it has enough power reserve to keep running until the next day.

　　II. Watch knocks and bumps

　　During the process of wearing a watch, because it is exposed most of the time, knocks and bumps are inevitable. If you accidentally knock or drop your watch in daily life, it may cause the movement gears or other components inside to become loose or misaligned; in severe cases, this can also cause the mechanical watch to run intermittently or stop. The solution is to take it to a repair shop for inspection, so we should be careful to avoid violent collisions and sports when wearing it daily.

　　III. Hairspring issues

　　Hairspring failure is also one of the reasons for mechanical watches stopping or running intermittently. It was previously mentioned that insufficient activity can cause the watch to stop; another situation is that if the activity level is too high, the mainspring may become too tight over time, causing a failure in the winding mechanism. This also leads to insufficient power. Generally, this type of stopping occurs between nine and twelve o'clock at night, when the hour hand of a watch with a date function drives the date wheel, directly causing the date to jam and the watch to stop due to insufficient power.

　　In addition, there are other situations such as the watch becoming magnetised or having excessive oil sludge, which can also cause a mechanical watch to stop. If you find that your watch stops while being worn normally, you should take measures to troubleshoot the fault as soon as possible. If it involves faults with the mechanical movement or other parts, the watch needs to be sent to a professional watch repair centre for inspection and repair.
