QUOTE(christcwl9 @ May 17 2018, 08:22 AM) May i know what model is it so that we can have a check on the movement it uses?? I understand the accuracy that y I compare 2 timer.. I believe hand phone is the most accurate coz it sync with world time server. My quartz no problem compare with hand phone .FYI, even a chronometer (COSC certified movement) has an accuracy of +6 / -4 seconds per day. So if for your case, it slows for 7 seconds after one whole day, it doesnt seem that bad enough for me. I'm wearing a seiko skx007.. not 7 sec late per day is per night |

QUOTE(christcwl9 @ May 17 2018, 01:36 PM) I asked before in watchforum, it seems that that 7 sec slower is still ok. How long have you been using your watch? However I’m not so sure of Japanese movement but my Tissot is giving me constant 3 secs slow per 24 hours. Just 4 months old haha..I keep track of it by comparing it with my phone (just like you did) every day at 7am, 3pm and 11pm. I have already gathered 7 days of data to do this analysis. Maybe you can also do the same and monitor it for 1 week, and wear it everyday to make sure the power reserve is sufficient (more than half) before deciding whether to bring it to service Centre or not ? It is notice able after few days coz few minutes late. Your case - 3 sec per day is good coz 2months later time dif 3min . For the watch with date u need to adjust the date after 2months and adjust the time together. For my case,20+sec late per day if 2 months later the time difference is 20+mins .

QUOTE(christcwl9 @ May 17 2018, 02:25 PM) 20 seconds slow per day is really horrible have to ald.. tq for advice Since you owned this watch for 4 months, and have been wearing it for quite some time, i think it is better to bring your watch back to the service provider and have them regulate it for you. |

QUOTE(christcwl9 @ May 17 2018, 02:54 PM) BTW, while waiting for the time to send in your watch, you can also try to position your watch differently every night. For eg: Actually i plan to buy a tool to open it and regulating by myself 1) horizontal with dial facing up 2) horizontal with dial facing down 3) vertical with crown facing up 4) vertical with 3 facing up (crown down) 5) vertical with 12 up (crown at the right) 6) vertical with 6 up (crown at the left) and see if it makes any difference?? From what i have read, different position might actually making the watch either gain or lose time. As in my case, i like to wear my watch on my right wrist, and so, most of my time the watch is at a position where the crown is facing up. Since i am also still new to this automatic watch, i will continue to try and update here from time to time. |

QUOTE(christcwl9 @ May 19 2018, 06:54 AM) Thanks for sharing, that link is super useful! Not satisfied but no choice, u need to pay higher price for higher end movement . But are you satisfied of your watch being slow constantly at 20seconds per 24 hours ?? P/s to update, my watch just lost 0.5 seconds in 24 hours since yesterday! Wow! And I let it in the crown up position when I Went to bed. Will try another position tonight As u said, different position will affect the beat rate.. |
