Been checking my gmt II C against the gmt website and I am running 10 seconds behind after 7 days, Is that good?

ninetres · 29 March 2009, 07:47 AM

Very

AIKO · 29 March 2009, 08:29 AM

Outstanding, well within COSC.

Sperry · 29 March 2009, 08:54 AM

Did you try to make up the time by laying the watch face up, overnight?

Ten seconds a week is outstanding. I'd probably adjust it once a month, at that rate.

gregdolley · 29 March 2009, 09:39 AM

That's considered very good since it's off less than 2 seconds per day.

mike · 29 March 2009, 10:35 AM

Excellent.

Nods · 29 March 2009, 10:41 AM

Way inside +6, -4 a day

Duc-904 · 29 March 2009, 10:43 AM

That is outstanding!

hflee55 · 29 March 2009, 10:46 AM

as good as it gets....

GeoGio Greece · 29 March 2009, 11:27 AM

Very Good, though depends on how long you wear it per day, how new it is ( it has to be run-in), positioning, temperatures, etc. But still, it shall be considered as Very Good. In real life, you have to let more time go by , as it might slow down a bit later and on average gain less.

britinusa · 31 March 2009, 12:33 PM

I wear it all day, only take it off to shower, brand new only had it 2 weeks.
Thanks for the replies! good to know

txbikerdude · 31 March 2009, 12:36 PM

not to shabby at all

NYC6 · 31 March 2009, 12:39 PM

My two week old Sub ND COSC is running 2.2 seconds a day fast since I got it.

onkyo · 31 March 2009, 12:39 PM

<1.5 sec per day..... fantastic.

Bisquitlips · 31 March 2009, 12:41 PM

My TT YM holds at -1 second every 14 days on my Orbita winder. Amazing timepieces!!!

The 3135 rules!!!

biggums · 31 March 2009, 12:44 PM

How can you even tell 2 seconds a day etc? My new GMT is right on with my cell phone time after a month but to tell seconds how would you know?

Does a winder help a watch keep better time?

I learned here. www.time.gov and I check everyday over two weeks, take the seconds gained and divide by the number of days. 2.2.

I would suppose it does in my case. I never fail to put it on the Orbita after work each day I wear it. It stays there when not on the wrist and the results are astounding to me.

Dom · 31 March 2009, 12:50 PM

Great results. My Daytona is about 2.5 secs slow per day.

NYC6 · 31 March 2009, 12:51 PM

OK. Thanks.

Sperry · 31 March 2009, 09:27 PM

How can you tell? As noted, world time web sites.

My Nuvi GPS has a world time function under Travel Tools.
It appears to be spot on, and presumably is synced by satellites.

Wait a couple of months. Mine was running 3 seconds slow a day... but after 3 months "breaking in" period, it has now settles to about +/- 10 sec/month! Wow!!!

alphamale2012 · 1 April 2009, 01:11 AM

postiff · 1 April 2009, 01:19 AM

That is very good. How old is the watch? I only ask because mine seemed to get better as I wore it more. It started off at about 1.5 seconds a day now I am down to .6 seconds a day if you do the math. 10 days and only 6 seconds fast.

britinusa · 1 April 2009, 12:27 PM

THe watch is new, only about 2 weeks old now

sombunya · 1 April 2009, 12:51 PM

My 116233 is +10.5 seconds per day. About 10 months old.
