: I've been keeping track of the time for the past week or so. It has

: it in the face-up position, but it didn't seem to make a
: difference. I didn't wear the watch on Monday (but I am still
: resting it face-up), so Tuesday morning I wound it by hand. It
: has since gained a couple seconds. I think maybe that did the
: trick. I will stick to winding it the next morning if I didn't
: wear it the day before, and resting it face-up.
