In Response To: Seamaster running a bit fast-should I adjust? ()

: My Seamaster Chronometer tends to run 2-5 secs.
: fast per day. I've been adjusting this by

2-5 seconds per day is EXCELLENT for a mechanical watch. No need to have any professional adjustments -- they would not guarantee any better than that anyway.

Generally, it is best to not manually adjust the watch so much. I normally wait until my watch is off at least a minute before I correct.

Some people take the precision of their watch very seriously. But I suggest taking a relaxed approach. Why expend several minutes of your life per week correcting a variation in a watch that does not negatively effect your life? You can easily waste more time than you gain!
