Face-up or Face-down to Increase Speed
I thought I read that string your watch face up will increase the speed then I just read that storing it face down will increase the speed - which is it?

Both, usually crown up or down slows it, dial up or down speeds up

Face-up or Face-down to Increase Speed
I’ve found that it depends on the watch... Experiment with different positions (face up/down, crown up/down, etc.) and find what (if any) variability is encountered. Ultimately, I found it too much hassle to try to regulate my watches by varying the resting position; I end up rotating to the next one before clock drift impacts me in a meaningful way. It’s fun to experiment though...

If watches did not run differently in different positions, no one would bother to test watch precision in multiple positions, which everyone from your local watch tech to COSC does. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

They certainly run differently in different positions, I’m not contesting that. I’m just saying the gain or loss can and often is different in different positions than that instruction sheet indicates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For me. Crown up gains a little overnight. Crown down loses a little overnight. I only wear one watch (submariner 116610), and never have to adjust the time other than resting position.
