[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4359689, member: 46104"] There's a lot of that around...the manual is emphatic on putting it direct sun for prescribed time, but past that gets vague, while doing exactly as it says is actually not an easy thing. Folk have researched the issue to include using luxometers, and them showing the only way you can meet initial factory standard is by having watch face directly at sun for that entire 14hrs total time or whatever that movement manual demands. They obviously work well for most, but most about live under bright artificial lighting. I was reading of someone in the sub-arctic who had to leave theirs clipped with a clothespin to an LED reading lamp a portion of each day to keep it running during the great amount of time there was zero direct sunlight, and long sleeves a lot of the time there was direct sunlight available at all. My case is not nearly so bad, so it will work. [/QUOTE]
