I need help

wind it all the way up - 40 turns
wear for a week
Then check its deviation

If you look for something hard enough you will find it.

So the watch is possibly 2 seconds out, maybe.

If these missing 2 seconds are stopping you from doing something productive send the watch in for a service/adjustment and make full use of the time that you have gained by not worrying about the watch.

Leave the watch in the capable hands of a team of Swiss elves refine and adjust your watch back to perfection.

When you get the watch back just enjoy it, check the time against a reference periodically but don't get hung up about a second here or a second there, life is too short.

You do realize COSC is -4 up to +6 seconds per day, right?
This falls right within it.

I asked before on these forums how everyone sets their watch, and how they can calculate time deviations, and for whatever reason a mod deleted it without any explanation.

Maybe they thought I was being intentionally dense in an attempt to troll.

But I'm genuinely curious how folks on the forum do it!

Is there an app or something?

I want to be able to say... "my watch is running with +1/-1 per day!"

The official standard time at time.gov is what I use to set my watches. From there any computer or cell phone will tell you correct time.

I guarantee you that your Explorer is either fast or slow, I can guarantee that because they all are.

My experience with mechanical watches is the more they cost the worse they keep time. Just unlucky I guess, but I still buy them and really don't care about Quartz accuracy in a mechanical watch.

So if the watch was off by 5 seconds you'd send the watch in for service?

If yes, I think u have a bit of OCD ....if you want perfection perhaps stick with quartz watches

It might be +5 a week from now :(

Mechanical watched run on gears, springs, and cogs. All mechanical and nothing electrical.

I use ClockSync app on my phone (Android). It provides both atomic and system times, with an offset of <1 second. It uses satellite and is real precise.
