Well, I currently own an Omega Seamaster Pro 300M, which is my daily watch and it keeps pretty good time, about -2 or -3 seconds a day. I also own several Seiko autos and a Tissot auto, with I put in my watch winder, when I'm not wearing them. for some reason, I've been wearing my Suunto Observer a lot lately. I've heard the the manual winding Omeega's can sometimes be off by +/- 10/15 seconds a day. Is that usually the case or can I expect similar accuracy, as my Seamaster 300M
