No I get that but I check mine at the most once a week (usually when one of these threads pop up). My point is with my method I don't even have to take the time to set it, at least for now. I had a Seiko 5 and I quickly lost patience with setting and winding it each day.

I kept track what happened when I rested it different for a couple weeks when I first got it and that was it. No further effort is necessary on my part. Also I know how my particular watch usually works so I'm hoping I'll know pretty quickly when it needs to be serviced.

I imagine the big difference is I only have the one though. My timing is pretty stable because I wear the same one day after day and in the same exact way. I'm guessing I couldn't get such consistent results if I had a nice rotation of watches to wear. Hopefully soon....
