Re: Every watch is different.
In Response To: Re: Every watch is different. ()

Thank you very much for posting.
I find it very unusal with my results so I wanted to ask others.
with 24 hour test.
At 6oclock I lost 2seconds a day
At position 9 (crown up) I gained 3 seconds a day.
At position 12 I gained 2-3 sconds a day
AT position 3 (crown down) I gained 3 seonds a day.
I find it so intresting that at 6 oclock it lost seconds(the first time my watch actually lost seconds) and no other position lost seconds.
I would thik that if the watch would lose seconds at postion 6 it would also lose seconds at position 12 but I was wrong.
I havn't tried crystal up or crystal down yet(maybe in the future)
When I do wear my watch 24/7 I always gain 2 seoncds with not exception.
Now I wear during the day and leave it at position 6 I have kept peferct time for the last 3 days.
HOwever, I am still very curious and this urge to understand why at different positions it loses or gains seconds. And also if there is a difference then the differnce should apply to all watches since it is physics no? Meaning if I am losing seconds at Position 6 it would mean that all you guys watch should be slower at position 6.
: Hope this helps!!

: Cheers, Darren
