·I am sure there are at least hundred vids on YouTube “how to operate and wind your watch“.

·RTFM! 😉
Or there appears to be something seriously amiss with this watch - have the shop check it out (and/or replace it)

·...even my Rolex doesn't change the date until 12:04am.
Must not be a DateJust because mine changes right on the hour - that's the hallmark of the reference,

·All
Bought a brand new Seamaster yesterday and over a 24hr period it is running about 3 hours fast.
Is this normal? Does the automatic nature need breaking in or is there a fault
I find that really hard to believe. A three hour deviation is ridiculous. If this is really a “brand new” Seamaster, it should come with a Master Chronometer movement that is both COSC/METAS certified and has superior anti-magnetic properties. My 8800 PO is +2 s/d, for example.
Additionally, if this is a “brand new” Seamaster, it likely came with a 5-year Omega warranty. Take it to your local OB. We really can’t diagnose or regulate your watch over the internet.

·My El Primero changes at 11.55, give or take a minute. Doesn't bother me as I don't need to know what date it actually is at that time.

·Most of my 50+ year old watches change sometime between the third Grand Marnier and the Ambien- don’t really notice when.

·I would guess same goes for most of your watches below 50 years old.

·Possibly magnetized.
Not a hope, these new Omegas are anti magnetic, at least according to their blurb.

1. Read the manual
2. Wind your watch fully
3. Set the time properly and make sure the crown is pushed in and screwed down.
4. Give us more information, at least what model the watch is. Even a picture of the watch would be helpful.

·OP, read the manual or go on line and see how to wind, adjust, set your watch.
Once you have wound, adjusted and set the watch wear it for a day or three and see how it performs, if not accurate back to the AD for a replacement.

·I want to reiterate for the record, there are no stupid questions in watch collecting. Even as a veteran watch collector, I screwed up the day/date mechanism in a 7750 becuase I didn’t remember to make sure the time was below 3/9 🤦. Now the day flips at midnight and the date at noon. Into the watchmaker it went.
