How accurate is your Co-Axial

Just checking on our accuracies. Mine is doing very well. Some days it runs spot on other it gains 4 seconds a day, others it loses 2 seconds a day. How about yours?

My old SMP co-ax was about +10 seconds per day which I wasn't too pleased with. My Bond Chrono w/ 7750 keeps way better time at -1 seconds per day

My 2500C Planet Ocean varies just a little bit. I guess it probably has some variance based on whether I wear it or keep it in the box and if I leave it sitting longer so that power reserve starts to run down (I rarely leave it long enough to let it stop). But it always runs anywhere from -2s/day to +1s/day. With a little bit of that back and forth on my wrist and in the box it is generally within a couple of seconds over the course of a week.

Not very accurate.
My PO2500 will gain 2 seconds over night. The problem is when it is worn. After 8 hours on my wrist the watch will gain 2 plus minutes.

I've had many coaxial watches...from 2500 POs to Bonds to ATs. They've all been very accurate....all 0.5 seconds to +3 seconds per day.

Two days ago my watch ran 4 seconds fast, I reset it and the last 24 hours 2 seconds fast. I guess it depends on how you wear it.

I'm happy with it. It's the first watch I have owned that was actually fast. All my others have been a second or two slow.

With what seems like all the 2500 Co Axial hating on the internet, I am expecting my watch to spontanously combust on my wrist at any time.............

Well it's okay, it's a divers' watch! You can put your burning wrist in the water without any risk of damaging the piece!

My two 2500D's (SMP-C and PO 42mm) are almost exactly +2 secs. each...

I had 5 co-axial Omegas and they have always mightily impressed me in this department . State of wind and positional variation does not seem to affect these watches as much as others...

One of the best timekeepers in my collection.

The neck-and-neck with the Seiko movement in my Prometheus.

I have owned several, all has kept time within cosc.

My oldest co-axial is a caliber 3313 which for 10 years is still keeping +2 sec/day, as it did when I bought it.
Never been regulated or serviced

The best is my new POC 9300 which is about 0.75 sec/day

I've taken in around 75 the past year and the WORST was keeping +10 seconds per day with 95%+ keeping within COSC.

Most of those being 2500's...I don't know where these 'faulty' 2500's are, but I've never come across one.

2 plus min after 8 hrs?

sounds magnetized and way way way way way way out of chrometer specs. time to take to omega for some warranty work if indeed still under warranty.

gaining 2 min after 8hrs is unacceptable

My 2500 PO has been documented to be + or - 0 seconds in 38 days. More accurate than my quartz. this was 2 years ago. It still is more accurate than any automatic I know of.

If it gains only two seconds while off wrist over night why do you think its magnetised.A magnetised watch cannot tell whether its day of night,and in general a magnetised watch will run erratic all of the time day and night.
