: However, after wearing it for 9 hrs today (Oct
: 7), the watch gained 12 secs !!! in 9 hrs !!
: How is this possible??
Mechanical watches are NOT as consistent in their timing. This is because their performance is affected by external factors, like position, gravity, tightness of spring, etc..
Often, they will gain during parts of the day and lose in others -- averaging out to a good performance. But attempting to measure accuracy over short periods of time is not going to give you good information.
As long as your watch has a good average over a period of a week, it is perfectly normal and fine.
