: Mike,
: I have a GMT Co-ax and it keeps decent time
: whilst being worn, but sometimes if i leave
: it in a certain postion it gains loads of
: time over night.
First of all, can you quantify "decent".
: For example it used to be that if I left it
: face up over night it would gain about 10
: secs.
Not out of the question, especially if it runs fast already
: The latest is last night i left it face down
: last night and it gained 25 secs!
: Is this normal or is there a serious problem
: here.
This does not sound normal to me so keep an eye on it. Like I said before, I believe the cal. 2500 and variants lose time crown up and gain time face up.
Please also keep in mind the resource you use to compare/set your watch to. I have found that nothing is reliable other than the atomic clock. Don't use your computer, your cell phone, etc to check against. Only use the atomic clock. I beleive www.time.gov is one of them, or just to a search for atomic clock. You can probably find a quick link or create one for your desktop. I was originally using my computer till I figured out it was not accurate, even with the atomic sync feature. It drove me crazy
