Sorry for the necropost but I just found the thread and tried the 'trick.'

It actually works! It's pretty insane. Wanted to speed up my watch, just shook it vigorously in a horizontal plane (I kept the watch flat, ie. face parallel to the ground.) After a couple times of doing this it was right on target.

Used this for comparison:

I had not heard of this 'trick' before, so thanks for necromancing this post haha @amh

All I can say is shaking a watch to gain one second is more intelligent than trying (with certainty) to forecast watch price trends.

Sounds a bit crazy. How many shakes did you do and how many seconds did you gain? We need to quantify this.

15 seconds of shaking, repeated 2x. Gained 5s.
