I find dial up to be a good proxy for me without bogging down in silly amounts of testing. It’s a very consistent proxy for me.

There is one other aspect I think you should explore and this is one where you will need timegrapher results as others have mentioned. You may have large variances between your positions and you might be in that position for a long time with how you wear it. Also amplitude I’d imagine could have a large bearing on stability during wearing the watch.

You appear to be interested enough in all this to buy a timegrapher. Even a iPhone timegrapher maybe, it’s a rabbit hole but some people do enjoy this stuff so consider it.

Yes I understand that it is completely logical for the wearing rate to differ from resting positions but in my case they aren’t even near. All the resting positions are on the + side meanwhile it is -3 on the wrist. I’m not worried that there’s something wrong with it I just find it very odd and doesn’t understand why that can be - I would greatly prefer it to be closer to the other rates, that being on the + side. I know that I can achieve perfect timekeeping by resting it during night but I’m one that would like to be able to wear it 24/7 (also while sleeping so I can be able to tell the time of I wake up etc) and that’s why the -3 on wrist is a bit annoying.
Even when I have it on while sleeping it is -3. Which is VERY odd since I’m barely moving my arm while sleeping = the watch is ”resting”, just that it’s on my wrist.

Hehe, I know, I’ve thought about buying a timegrapher because it would be very handy but I think I may become a bit too obesessed with it. That’s just me as a person. In my case, it’s probably best to just go to a watchmaker if I want timegrapher values :)

Could you explain a bit about your theory regarding amplitudes / large variances. Didn’t quite get that.
