after 99hrs./ 4 days lying flat in its Swatch plastic case it gained @ 2 mins. ...not bad for a watch breaking in and not being worn imo.
Will be interesting to see if the movement breaks in and improves timekeeping as the movement gets more time.
According to SWATCH, the claim is the SISTEM51 movement receives final regulation via laser to set the tolerances when the movement is placed in the watch and never needs regulation again... (Swatch says they are shooting for an accuracy of +/- 5 second accuracy over 24 hours, so I would have expected better timekeeping than you are seeing over 4 days.)
The power reserve on this thing is absolutely amazing, and the concept of an all machine built movement is quite an achievement.
