: You are fiddling with the watch too much. As I
: said before, small variations over short
: periods of time are normal and expected.
: Relax and let it do its thing.

: Don't even THINK about how many seconds it is
: off until one week from now. Then check it.
: Otherwise you will drive yourself and
: everyone else nuts over these variations
: that WILL CANCEL THEMSELVES OUT over a few
: days of normal use.

: The date not changing at midnight was probably
: simple because ou set the watch wrong so
: that it thought it was noon instead. Watches
: aren't very smart, they merely change the
: date every OTHER time the hands pass 12.

LOL, good points and advice...I will definitely heed them. Thanks for putting up with my over neurotic tendencies this long. Time to just enjoy the thing instead of monitoring it. I'll shut up now ;)

Thanks and regards,
Alex Bornstein
