I think this watch is going to be consistent or at least close in numbers by the end of the week. My fingers are crossed.

Day 2 24hr accuracy: +17
9 hrs idle dial up; 15 hrs on wrist

Well the out of the box accuracy logging has been completed. I know this puppy needs more time on the wrist but I wanted to see how it did from the box to the wrist so to speak.

Day 1: +16 (7 hrs dial up; 17 hrs worn)
Day 2: +17 (9 hrs dial up; 15 hrs worn)
Day 3: +17 (9 hrs dial up; 1 hr on winder; 14 hrs worn)
Day 4: +15 (10 hrs on winder; 1 hr dial up; 13 hrs worn)
Day 5: +22 (21 hrs on winder; 2 dial up; 1 hr worn)
Day 6: +21 (9 hrs dial up; 15 hrs worn)
Day 7: +24 (10 hrs dial up; 14 hrs worn)

Surprisingly the last 3 days of the initial logging indicated that the time was speeding up. My activities varied with the watch on each day. Out of the box accuracy isn't exceptional but it isn't bad either. I'll continue to keep my eye on it throughout the month. I really don't see it slowing down. A trip to the watchmaker is on order once I feel it's time. With that said, this is well below the specifications set for this movement, so far.

I'll start to play with resting positions later on to see if I can slow the movement down a bit when I'm not wearing it.

With that said, I still love this watch. It's received nice complements so far. I think this is a keeper. It's clean, easy to read, and wears nice.



Note: Hours on winder is not actual winding hours. My winder goes 6 mins on, 30 mins off cycle.
