Re: Flyback COSC
In Response To: Re: Flyback COSC ()

My thoughts exactly Mark - and the chrono is not my main reason for getting the patricular watch, allthough I am intrigued by the flyback function. Im sure Ill have a lot of fun with this, timing anything that can possibly be timed :-).
Just found a few high speed chrono reset videos on youtube, unfortunately none by TAG Heuer, - but none the less truly amazing to watch !

: Jacob, there is a cost to manufacturers for COSC certification,
: which is of course usually passed on to the consumer. So some
: decide it's simply not worth it and release a watch that meets
: the criteria but doesn't have certification.

: I personally wouldn't worry about it. Having seen a chrono being
: reset to 0 recorded on a high speed camera on a TAG Heuer tour,
: I won't lose sleep over accuracy ever again!
