You says it gains two seconds in 10 hours. How much is it gaining the rest of the day.
Sounds like your watch is gaining around 4-5 seconds a day.
Although each watch differs, my experience and the experience of a large number of posters to both this forum and TimeZone seems to indicate a tendency for the SMP to slow down a bit as it breaks in. Note that not everyone seems to have a break in period. Perjaps their watches are already broken in when they get them.
My own Bond SMP (2 years old) was slightly more than 5 seconds/day fast (worn 24/7) when new. after a few months, it stabilized to 2+ seconds/day.
: I’ve just gotten a new OMEGA Seamaster
: (2055.80) and have really enjoyed it. I’ve
: kept careful, but not obsessive, watch over
: its performance in the last week and see
: that it is working to COSC tolerances.
: It gains about 2 seconds during the 10-hour
: workday and I am wearing it about 15 hours a
: day. From my activity level, I know that it
: is staying fully wound.
: What’s interesting to me is that the watch is
: gaining everyday, no matter what position I
: store it in overnight. In fact, I cannot
: find a position that causes it to lose time.
: It will be very interesting to me to see
: what happens as the watch ages over the next
: month.
: Thanks,
: Jay
