·Can anyone help please? Speedmaster Pro, 1861, 3 years old and when the stopwatch function is used the watch stops after a few minutes. Reset the chrono and away it goes again! Watch is still under warranty.
... Watch is still under warranty.
Service I doubt, after 3 years?! hardly worn the watch as it’s in a rotation!
However, I have never owned vintage watches.
The OP' Speedy is hardly vintage.![]()
You interpreted what I said wrong. I never said it was. I was talking about new or used non vintage watches I have owned never needing to be serviced. I cannot speak on vintage.
Some of these rep;ies remind me instantly why I don’t do watch forums that much! My original post gives the info. Yes the watch is wound. Fully every day when I’m wearing it ! New in 2019. Worn probably for less than 6 months out of the 3 years since new and ONLY recently started to do this. YES I will get it sorted under warranty however I was hoping someone (maybe Archer) could help explain it. Of course I cannot fix it from advice, I’m not a watch maker or tech’ so any suggestions are more for informative value rather than diy fix it!

It stops after random time elapse using chrono function. It has never been dropped or banged. I did try searching and in the past remember reading of a similar issue and cause but could not find the thread.
There was recently a fellow with a 3861 that was stopping randomly after the chrono function was started.
After the dealer/boutique looked at the watch it was universally agreed the owner wasn't fully winding it up.
According to the owner it goes just fine now that he knows how to wind it fully![]()
