Aqua Terra 8800 running outside Metas standards
My Omega Aqua Terra 8800 had always been very accurate when fully wound (+0/0.5 per day). It’s been like that for a very long time. I’ve been wearing it much less lately and now when fully wounds it runs at about -3/4 secs per day. This is outside metas standards (0/+5 secs per day).
Due to my relative lack of experience I ask: is this cause of concern? Should I do anything about it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just a few thoughts, a specification is not a guarantee.
How old is the watch? Do you want it opened to have it regulated? If you are not wearing it much why does it matter?

The watch is less than 2 years old. I’m not sure if I want it open, I wanted to get some feedback here to see if I should do it or not... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am amazed at how many threads there are on seconds lost or gained on our watches...who monitors such things and how does it affect your life...or get a life!

I bought a new SMP300 and from day one it loses about 6 seconds a day no matter if I'm wearing it everyday or not. It bugs me for sure because it's just not supposed to do that. Doesn't bug me enough to send it in but still it's way outside the guidelines it's supposed to fall in. |

Exactly this. It’s part of what they sell. I’m not losing sleep over it but I just wanted to hear other people’s experience. That’s why we’re on a forum... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

We pay a high price tag on Omega/Rolex because the ads shows high accuracy. Otherwise, I would just spend 1/10 money for a cheap one.

Guy was just asking a question on a watch forum. Isn't that what this is for?

There a tons of things that affect accuracy but if your watch has been running perfect and now gains or loses a lot of time compared to what it’s been doing it’s up to you if you want to send it in under warranty
My Rolex DJII gains a solid +4 SPD so by weeks end it’s about 30 secs fast, it’s still under warranty but for me it’s not worth sending in for 15 secs to get it possibly to there +/- 2 spd but it’s all up to the owner
