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

: I've tried several positions with my SMP to
: keep it from gaining time. None were any
: better than another.

: I've found that if I wear it 24/7 except for
: showering that it keeps almost perfect time.
: Withing +/-3 seconds a day.

: It would gain roughly 5-7 seconds a day due to
: sitting in the box at night.

: I guess this particular SMP just likes to be
: worn.
I have the same experience with my 2-wk old Bond SMP (midsize). For the past 5 days, wore the watch 24 hr a day (except for showers). I sychronized my watch with "official U.S. time" at www.time.gov, at about the same time of the day, and it has been within less than 1 sec difference! A week ago, I placed the watch on a table (forgotten what position) for about 10 hours, and it gained about 10 sec.

Wonder if the temperature has anything to do with the accuracy, since it is a lot cooler when it is left resting on a table in the winter weather.
