I'm pretty obsessed with accurate timekeeping. I wonder, how detrimental is it to the crown and stem to be unscrewing and setting the time on a weekly basis? Am I shortening the life span and affecting the accuracy of the watch by overzealously setting the time?

As for the OP, I have been using timeanddate.com

No need to change your hobby or addiction for the longevity of a watch... Even for a Rolex...

I have a quartz fossil watch (currently 0sec per day) in my watch case so I can check on everything next to it everytime I pick out a watch. Unless it's blantantly off, I never touch a running watch.

I rotate watches a lot and usually set the new one to whatever the time is on the watch going back in the box. When I occasionally check a watch for accuracy I synchronize it with time.is and check it after 2-3 days.

I check mine about every 2 weeks. If it's off by more than 2 min I'll adjust it. It was off by almost 5 minutes last time I checked...... I need to keep track and make sure it's not an issue

Usually weekly but sometimes forget. I use time.is

Same here, so it's always accurate, even my vintage pieces

I use the U.S. Naval Observatory master clock: https://tycho.usno.navy.mil/simpletime.html

They might even still have a phone number that you can call and hear the countdown over the phone...that is the (not so) old school Air Force Navigator way of hacking your watch.

my rollie after 2 weeks no winding is around +8-10 seconds on the atomic clock.

really damn good time keeping. I think I'm suppose to wind it every now and then but don't even think about it!
