In Response To: What? ()

: I don't get it. If you stop the movement, the
: watch will by definition 'lose' time. You'll
: have to reset it each time you start to use
: it again. If you're not planning on wearing
: it occassionally, why not give it some extra
: winds on that day so it continues to run
: until you do wear it? Am I missing something
: here? What are you trying to accomplish?

I suppose that was a little weird. What I was trying to explain was that I have a daily routine with my SMP;(gains 2 sec. a day, gets put in 12 up to compensate overnite..)so, if I wanted not to wear it on a particular day, I could stop the mov't by pulling the crown all the way out.(parking the mov't,so to speak.) but, when I thought of it after I finished coffee;I realized that I could hack the mov't accurate anytime anyway. Why not just let it run. you're right.
