mmmm in my opinion could be a battery contact.....in fact the time must be set again when the watch lights up again....

Update!
The watch seems to be ok....20 days with battery inside and never stopped.
I don't understand (i don't make nothing: only opened the case and clean the zebra strip and circuit) :roll:
I don't know if open it and clean the circuit and zebra again....
