Re: Returning a watch
Yes, you can only wear one pair at a time. I'm the same with watches. When I did have an Apple watch I wore it along side my normal watch on the other wrist but it always felt awkward and eventually I stopped wearing the Apple watch, it gathered dust for a while then I sold it.I try and rotate my watches; the 4k one though is an automatic and needs adjusting, though, if I take it off my wrist for a few days. That's the downside of automatic watches. The Casio I bought today is just pick up and go; and I have 2 solar watches which go for years just from natural light although they contain a larger capacity battery which eventually in 10 years or more will need replaced.
I could talk watches all night; but are they gadgets if they're not the modern smart watches which pair with a phone?
Thought I was on the gadgets thread for a moment there.

Re: Returning a watch
I have a couple of G-Shocks Foss - bleddy indestructible things they are. The wife uses a "Baby-G" at work.I don't like those negative displays though - can be very hard to read in certain light.
Ref the Tag, it may be something quite simple like a stuck / jamming rotor if it's not winding.

A mate had a brand new Rolex Explorer II and in the first week the rotor came off and jammed the movement.

To add: It's the Carrera that's broken.

Re: Returning a watch
I found an old watch of mine last year .Hadn't worn it in 25 years .
The watchmaker couldn't get the parts it needed so last week we made the effort and took it back to Cartier .
Going into the shop is a pleasure it's sort of a shrine to rediculous wealth .
You wade through the beige deep pile
All the assistants are handsome and look as if they have just been ironed .
They treat you like royalty ( you never know even a scruffy pair may be eccentric millionaires. )
Anyway I am hoping I will get away without too huge a bill.
But it's a beautiful watch and holds sentimental value for me .
I hope but doubt my grand children may one day apprieciate it.
