Try taking it off earlier in the evening. I used to wear mine 24 hrs., but after becoming obsessive about accuracy I have started tracking the +/-. I am now +2 laying the watch flat on it's band. I take it off around 6pm and put it back on around 7am. This also allows me to wear my other automatic during the evening and keep it wound as well.

: I just received my new SMP on Saturday morning.
: It's running about 16 seconds fast in just
: under 60 hours (which is at the outer limit
: of the certification range of -2/+6 per
: day). I've tried setting the watch in
: different positions on my night stand (as
: Derek suggested) but I can't seem to find a
: position in which it will lose any time at
: night.
: So, I have two questions: (1) Is there a
: position that will invariably result in a
: loss of time at night (and it's just a
: matter of finding it)?
: (2) I understand that shipping a watch may
: result in the need to have it "settle
: down" for some period of time before it
: starts running in a regular groove. Is that
: true and how much time should I expect is
: needed to pass before I should consider
: having the watch regulated?
: As always, you comments are much appreciated!
