Do Carrera automatic watch need a battery to run? because it stop me alot that why it just run for a few mins and stop forever until i move again

It sounds like your Tag Carrera automatic watch may be experiencing an issue with the automatic winding mechanism. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Make sure that the watch is fully wound. If the watch is not fully wound, it may not have enough power to keep running.
2. Check the balance wheel and pallet fork for any debris or obstruction that could be preventing the watch from running.
3. Inspect the winding rotor for any signs of damage or malfunction. The winding rotor may need to be replaced if it is not functioning properly.
4. Check the control panel for any error codes or messages that may indicate the cause of the issue.

2 minutes a few months is OK but 2 minutes a day is too much. Bring it to service center for clean & service.

It rather depends what you mean by "very often".

An automatic watch will run for 2-3 days before stoping if it is not used.

These watches thrive on being used and are best used every day.

It could be that your watch needs cleaning (I had one that was like that when I bought it and I had it cleaned and it ran for years after that).

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.

Hi,

There is no such things as over winding a watch. If it is not an automatic watch then the watch will wind until it stops. If the watch does not run then something else is wrong.

If the watch is an automatic then about 30 winds will fully wind the watch. But, you can continue to wind the watch forever. It will never stop winding. Again, if it does not run after being wound there is something else wrong.

To fix your watch you need to have a qualified watchmaker repair it for you.

Lets get down to the facts.

The watch may have been serviced and may have been the beginning of this problem.

BUT is it really a problem?

Changing a 1230 or 0330 still means its on the correct date in the morning.

Are you aware that these are automatic watches and need to be moved to keep the watch going, kinetic energy winds up the movement which allows it to keep going, if it is left off your wrist and in a drawer or sat stationary it will stop. Shake it violently (without dropping it) and it will restart.

Your band may be too loose. This is the model that moves when worn correct?

Your watch is a automatic. All automatics need to wind-up before being worn at first , or if not worn all the time. Automatics will work with-out being wound ,but will not keep time. Wind your watch at least 50 turns (using the crown) or shake about 150 times , and then try it . Automatics need that back-up power to insure it's accuracy.
