SOURCE: quickly change date on my Tag Carrera
When yoy pull out the crown you will notice there are two clicks. You have to pull out crown to the first click only and then adjust a date by turning the crown.
Rate me, please.
SOURCE: I need to know if I need to purchase a watch winder for my TAGs
Use a winder if you must but I recommend just winding and setting when you want to wear them as most winders I have seen are very cheap and unreliable. Expect up to 50 hours from most watches usually not less than 30, this is if the have recent< 5 years, overhaul.

Hi
This is a warranty issue, the watch should not lose time like this. Take it back to the supplier ASAP
Cheers

Automatic watches will generally run for 2-3 days before the spring is fully unwound, so you are likely to have bought the watch in the unwound condition.
It can be wound by gently shaking the watch from side to side (for about 100-200 times). This should give it sufficent engergy to operate and thereafter normal use will keep it wound up.
If it stops working when the watch is rotated out of the face up position, then it may be that the watch is faulty. (If the watch has been dropped in transit, it may have been damaged).
If normal operation is not achieved, then send it back to get it repaired under warranty.

If your watch is "automatic" then would I be right in thinking you took it off for a few days and it stopped?
If this is the case (since most of the Carrera range are automatic, then the spring will have run down and needs re-winding.
You were correct in thinking that shaking it will re- start it but to keep it going you need to shake it gently from side to side for some time. (One supplier quoted 500 times!) be patient and keep wearing it.
There are three positions for the Carrera's push-down crown. The inner position is used for normal wear and winding. To wind the crown manually, simply rotate it clockwise.
Changing the date on the Carrera is done from the middle crown position. Turn the crown clockwise to advance the date, one day at a time. Push the crown back to the inner position when finished.
The outer crown position is used for setting the time. You can turn the crown in this position either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Adjust the time forward or backwards. Setting the time backwards will not damage the watch. When the time is correct, press the crown all the way into the inner position.
