Thanks Mike,

What I mean by decent is +1-2 / -1-2 secs per day on average.

I reset the watch at the end of Aug and it never deviated outside of +10 / -10 secs.

The only thing is that the behavior of the watch seems to change quite a bit. Like i said, before when I left it face down it would lose maybe 3 or 4 secs over night, now it gains, the last time being 25 seconds.

I wear the watch for 12 - 14 hours every day and if I leave if crown up or crown down overnight it maintains and accuracy of about 1 sec per day.

I dont understand how it can gain 25 secs overnight face down.

Last night I left it crown up and it is spot on.

By the way I use www.greenwichmeantime.com to check the time.

Cheers,

Bob
