How often do you reset the time on your Rolex?

[thejl]

I have a Sub 114060 that keeps accurate time within
-2 to +2 standard of a "Superlative Chronometer."
But, as expected, with each passing day, it's moving further
away from the NIST official US time that I use as my reference.

I may be a little OCD, but I reset to NIST every 3-4 days.

So, how regularly do you find yourself resetting the time to match
your reference?

When it gets out by 10 seconds or so... I rarely need to know where I am to the second.

[JayHantz]

It is usually reset when I wear it, since most of the collection gets wrist time. Outside of that, not much.

[Tools]

When I notice that it's a minute or two from the times I see around every day, I give it a nudge.

[Rebel]

End of a month when resetting the date.

[AF_Rob]

After the power reserve drains and I want to wear it again. I rotate enough where that happens a lot. When I set it, I always set it 15-20 seconds slow, since I know they usually run a little fast.

[arcentaur]

When it’s a minute fast or slow.

[SDREW22]

Every Friday

I generally only set the time when I put a new one on in my rotation, resetting the date or travel to a different time zone. If I’m wearing the same one for a few weeks and it hasn’t stopped, I don’t bother resetting the time.

Weekly on time.gov

About once every two weeks. My GMT runs about about a minute slow every 10-14 days and I reset it when it is off by more than a minute

[Oldfellow]

Generally I reset when it is a minute or so out.

I've only had to reset my Pelagos 3-4 times in the past year. I don't wear the others enough to keep them constantly running.

[Phooi]

Either when I can’t take it anymore or if I’m switching watches.

[brandrea]

I rotate watches every few days so they usually lose power and I have to reset them

New Date Just 41 3235, purchased in August 2019, has been so accurate that it stays within 1 second (visually from computer clock) and can be kept that way by resting crown down or crown up. I have only reset time due to daylight savings changes.
Most accurate Rolex I have ever had since 1978.

I used to really care about the chronometer rating and "to the second" accuracy, then I owned a 1601 Datejust that's not quick set and doesn't hack. I've also got to a point in my life where I'm generally more relaxed about everything. That watch came back from RSC Dallas keeping damn near perfect time. I would check it every morning when I got up and would regulate it by either leaving it dial up for faster running or crown up for slower running and generally could get by with not resetting it until the date changed on a month with less than 31 days and I had to roll it forward. Talk about superlative performance.

As for my new Daytona, it seems to pick up a few seconds during the day, and by leaving it crown up at night it will back some of that off. I generally will reset once a watch gets off by about 30 seconds or more. If I can go a couple of weeks between resets, I'm a happy camper.

[Nikrnic]

Everytime i put one on. I rotate between too many for them to keep running and do not use a winder.

I have two Rolex watches, a OP39 and a 16610 Submariner. I often wear one or the other for months at a time rotating infrequently. I'm fortunate in that both these watches are extremely accurate.

I only have to reset the time twice a year for daylight savings time. With night time positioning my OP39 after six months is pretty much spot on and my 16610 gains about 20 to 30 seconds in six months.

[Rocket_Man]

Generally at the end of the month, especially if they don't have 31 days. Or if I notice it is a minute or two off. I'll reset it and give it a full wind. Unless my watch is over 1-2 minutes off it is not going to matter much. At work I travel between two buildings on campus on a regular basis. I know it takes exactly 7 minutes to get from one office to the other. If my watch if off by more than a minute or two I might be late to a meeting.

[PeterBakke]

So far my 114060 has gained 44 seconds in 64 days. I don’t care for this relative small difference to be honest - but still plan to reset it once it reaches +1 minute from the Hodinkee atomic clock in the app ;)

So in other words it will roughly take 3 months between each reset ;)

I very rarely need to stop and change the time if I'm wearing the watch, and it's always between +0/+1 second off, total.

I simply self-regulate the watch and let gravity do its thing. From there I can control if I want the watch slowed down or accelerated.

[Ihatecheese]

The watch normally stops before I notice as I rotate a couple especially during these times at home! I used to care about the second when I first bought automatic watches. Now a minute or so is fine for me until I notice.

[Brew]

Mine have a chance to run down and rest between outings, so they're usually reset each time worn.

Maybe once a month... if it's out more than I would like.

[BisonHead]

When i wore (Owned) just one Rolex for years, (Sub) would only reset it for time zone changes or the clocks moving forwards or backwards.

[Rolex-istanbul]

Never, I regulate it. for the first 3 months I observed my submariners behavior pattern.

now if I am active all day, I put the watch crown up to slow it.

If I am not active I put the watch dial up.

With this method 18 months 3 seconds fast.

and I am in turkey we dont change time. always same.

[Raffy22]

The older I get the more often I set my current watch to the exact time. I guess as we get closer to the end, time becomes more valuable!

I don't set it to the second and I don't wear it everyday.
