Which Watch are you wearing today?

[mtngunr]

OK, I have a question for you gurus (especially you @thor447 ). How on earth do you know if your watch is running a few seconds a day/week/month fast or slow? I'm happy when my watches seem to sync up fairly closely with my cell phone and it doesn't display seconds at all.

You can also go to www.time.gov which will even tell you how far off your phone is at that moment (scroll down to analog view). My Garrison is now about 1sec slow from when set nearly 3wks back.

Haven't had this one out in a coon's age.

High speed, low drag.

Runs about 8 seconds slow per day. Going with my wife so she can get an MRI. Hope there is enough magnetism in the waiting area to speed it up a bit!

I have mine on a cheap black single pass nato. I wore it for 5 days straight. Wears great and is light enough with nato that I barely noticed it. I don’t have a timegrapher to check it with though.

NH35 movements (like those watches have), are generally within 20spd out of the box. That's good enough for most, but those movements can be fine tuned quite a bit and you'll get much better timekeeping out of them. I suppose it is just because it's such a mass produced movement that everything is set by machines, and they do not have the time to micro-adjust the regulation by hand. Let me know, @dlbleak & @TANSTAAFL if you want me to put your OWCG watches on the machine and dial them in further. I'll be around.

There is also an app that syncs up with the NIST in Boulder, Colorado. It will adjust for speed of your network and phone. The Android App, "Atomic Clock" does this and will beep every 10 seconds or minute if your as O/C as me. I also have an "atomic clock" in my living room that syncs up with the NIST.

Thank you. Still keeps reasonably good time, but after a day or two a bit irritating. Interested in trying your hand at a Sellitta S200-1?

Well.... I'm more of a low speed, high drag so I guess this would have to even me out...

Service or regulating? I can do either on an SW200.
