Re: New watch accuarcy
In Response To: Re: New watch accuarcy ()

I'd wait FAR LONGER (about 3 months) before sending to someone for adjustment. When I first got my SMP, I checked timing against atomic clock website (www.time.gov) and found that it ran slow (-2sec/day) for a week or so, then ran fast (+2 to 4sec/day) for about 3 MONTHS. Then is slowly eased into a "permanant" -1sec/day error, which is fine with me!
I am certain of this result because I kept all the results on an excel spreadsheet and could graph the behavior over time. I'd be happy to send spreadsheet if you request. That way, there is no debate about the performance.

...I can't help it , I'm an engineer by trade...knowledge is POWER!

Hope this helps, MMC
