My SMP is about 2 weeks old now and for the first few days it would lose about 4 sec a day and I would leave it dial up and it would gain it back again almost perfect. I then tried seting it crown up overnight and it would gain about 2 sec. Then It would lose about 4 sec during daily wear and then I would gain it back to about 2 seconds short of perfect. One more over night dial up and it was perfect. I let it set for a whole day crown up and it gained about 4 seconds. For the last two days it has been staying right at 4 seconds fast so it seems that it hasnt gained or lost. Kind of weird, I hope to get it to 2 seconds a day consistant. I love this thing though!
: Hey there, folks! I am the proud and happy
: owner of a new SMP. Had it about 3 days now
: and absolutely LOVE it. I'm currently in the
: stage of trying to figure out the best way
: to balance out the small gains/losses in
: time. In any one 24 hr period, I've never
: gained nor lost more than 2 seconds, so I am
: very pleased with the accuracy. It only
: loses about 2 sec's in the day. I've not
: been able to get the watch to gain time on
: face up or crown up at night, yet, but will
: continue to experiment.
: I'm curious about others' experience with
: different resting positions at night. Just
: wondering if there's any continuity to the
: gain/loss of time by position. i.e. face up
: generally loses; crown down generally gains.
: Even if it's completely different from watch to
: watch, let me know your experience and how
: much variation you get. I suppose I'm a bit
: strange in that I think this is a fun
: process and actually like the
: "character" imparted by these
: minor changes, but it makes this small
: mechanical device on my wrist seem almost
: like it has it's own personality.
: Oh well, enough goofy philosophical thoughts!
: Let me know what you think and about your
: experience. Thanks in advance!
