You are overdoing it! (More)
In Response To: How often reset watch when checking accuracy? ()

: but am unclear as to whether I should be constantly resetting
: my watch every day.

You should NOT be resetting it so often. You will note that my instructions say only to CHECK to accuracy before you go to bed and again in the morning. They do NOT say to reset the watch every time you measure the accuracy!

Here's a scientific trick on how to tell how much the watch varied WITHOUT having to keep resetting it. If the watch is 5 seconds ahead of the atomic clock when you go to bed and 7 seconds ahead in the morning, you can use the mathematic principle of SUBTRACTION to tell that the watch gained 2 seconds overnight without having to reset the watch! Cool, huh?

Really, what the heck does it matter if your watch is off by less than a minute anyway? Other than annoying that little place in your mind that wants high precision, it should not have any negative effect on your life at all.

So as I've said before... RELAX, QUIT FIDDLING WITH YOUR WATCH, AND START ENJOYING IT!
