You need to swing the watch backward and forward for some time (200-500 times!), to re-charge the battery.

This may take some patience!

Stops after i take it off, I have to shake it to get it going again, problem is intermittent, I have no clue...

Your watch is self winding and will run down (if fully wound) for about 2 days.

This type of watch thrives on use and if not used will stop. To avoid having to re-wind by shaking, it should be worn every day.

(Some makers say that to full wind up their self winding watches, they need to be shaken (gently) aboiut 200 times).

I bought it new and then a few weeks later the battery seemed to stop. I did not wear it often. I heard some watches do not use battery and function with the movement of one's arm. Is this the case for...

If the watch is a self winding type, then it generally says "automatic" on the face. These will run for about 2-3 days if they are not worn, as the self winding action only works when the user is moving).

Battery driven watches should run for at least a year before needing a replacement, so if it has stopped already, it could be self winding or manually wound type. Some self winding watches can be manually wound so you could try this to see if it starts.

Watch winding is not holding

Two words: Wind it! When any self-winding (automatic) watch runs down from not wearing it you have to manually wind it to get it going again. Once you've done that the movement of your wrist will cause the self-winding rotor mechanism to keep it running as long as you are reasonably active and wear it everyday. Just wind it about 40 turns and you'll be good to go. Oris is a great watch company and you should enjoy it for many years.

Dont know how many time to wind it

until it begins to feel just slightly taunt,Do NOT over wind a wind-up wrist watch, if its a self winding you should just have to walk in it to wind it. here is a link to a pdf of your manual which has winding procedures, Good luck Jon click here

Just want to ask about my new tag heuer watch???

Yes. it's normal to hear that soft noise when winding manually as all the gears gets engaged.
I would recommend watch rotator (winder) by Wolf Designs, Module 1.7, but you can choose for yourself.

Regarding automatic watch

Sorry for my first comment I thought your watch is battery operated this is not ,your watch is mechanical not electronic watch. Your watch is self winding is an automatic,even you do not use its ok,nothing happen to watch..

Batteries generally last years in a watch and a mechanical wind up watch will last forever as long as it's kept well. Now there is a third choice of Kinetic watches. These work by utilizing the motion of the wearer's arm. This motion is used to store energy in the rotation of a flywheel or a coiled spring, which then drives a micromotor that drives the watches mechanism.


Hope this may help;

Rolex runs down

sounds like you need a new watchmaker, Your watch is designed to be worn 16 hours a day an rested for 8 while you sleep and this should keep it running. there are several different mainsprings that can be installed depending on the age and your activity level. I would be happy to take a look at it for you.
