: (This is a copy of the post I did earlier on
: Omega TimeZone Forum)

: It won't fix the watch if it is broken, but it
: will let you know exactly what the
: performance is...with no
: "guestimating".

: I few years ago a created an Excel spreadsheet
: that lets you track and graph a watch's
: accuracy over time. All you do is
: synchronize the watch to a standard such as
: www.time.gov and enter the current time and
: date. Then, some time later (I suggest at
: least 4 days or so), you enter the current
: time and date again, and how much error (+/-
: seconds) has accumulated since the start
: time.

: It will then give you the error normalized to
: seconds/day and sec./month. Then you can
: choose to resynchronize all over again or
: not bother until you want to check again.
: The best part is the graph that it will
: create over time. The graph is a line that
: runs above (or below) the 0 seconds/day (or
: "no error") line.

: There is even a section where you can easily
: record what nighttime storage position
: (crown up...crown down etc.)you used over
: the period, although this does not interact
: with any other part of the spreadsheet yet.
: There are a few other self-explanatory
: "bells and whistles". I suppose
: you could copy the spreadsheet and track a
: few watches at one time.

: You need to have Microsoft Excel on your
: computer, and very little spreadsheet
: knowledge. There are many
: "comment" boxes to tell you what
: to do. Any TZer (or ZOWIE reader)can email
: me with questions.

: I first made this spreadsheet in early 2001
: when I got my first SMP. The
: "break-in" period was OBVIOUS,
: once enough data had been entered. It ran
: fast at first, and then settled in nicely at
: +2 or 3/day.

: I make this offer whenever I see this accuracy
: topic come up. I've probably sent it to
: 30-40 TZers and ZOWIE readers over the
: years.

: If you would like a copy of the spreadsheet,
: just email me. Please be patient, as I do
: not check email on weekends.

: IT'S FRIDAY !
: Have a good weekend.
