OK...I am about 5 seconds behind after about 4 hours....or spot on as I may not have synched precisely!

Thanks to Everose for that USNO website!!!!

Wish you could manually wind this thing. I am not sure I am getting the full reserve.

Give it a good shake for about a minute or two, that should do the job And don't worry, I constantly miss-set my Speedy and sometimes my Sub too. I only notice when I look down and see it's exactly 5 minutes behind .

I agree. I haven't worn mine for the last 47 hours and it gained about 20 seconds , so I think as long as you give it a good shake for about a minute or so before setting and then wear it, it should be fine

Here's a recap.

24 hour + 2


48 hours + 3


72 hours +6

will still have to check at USNO how my BM is doing...
but question though... how do i regulate my BM? would it be similar to the rollie that i let it set with the crown down or the opposite if i want to lose time? and let it lay flat if i want to gain time? has anyone tried this already?

after a little less than 48hrs, it's now faster by 30 sec... probably give it a few days more and it'll settle down...

Joji that info is spot on from my experience.....if i am not very active,and i am lazing around,then it is not well charged.Since there is no manual wind, this can potentially be a problem.

This maybe the Monsters long-term achilles heal???




If it is not fully charged then would that not impact accuracy almost as much as regulation????

What do the experts think??

What is your view Jim???

24hrs = 18secs faster
48hrs = 30secs faster
72hrs = 40secs faster

hopefully accuracy would still improve as i wear my BM!

The Monster definitely doesn’t go well with sleeves- mine has to stick out

I almost forgot my 72 hour Monster time test.
In 72 hours it lost a total of 2 seconds Since it's been on my wrist, it has been about -30 in exactly 3 weeks. Not too shabby (I've been using my Windows based computer clock for a time guide.)
