Holy Cow!!!

I must say that I am overly impressed with the accuracy us my subc. I set the watch to the second of my phone on or about 21 Feb when I received it. I watched it closely for a week or two and on average it would gain or lose ~5sec a day. It seemed to go back and forth. After nearly two months of ownership I checked the time against my phone today to find it a total of 5 seconds slow! Holy cow I am impressed with this thing!

Very impressive indeed
Do you wind the watch periodically, or simply wear it ?

I have only not worn it 5 or so days since I got it. If I don't wear it on a Sunday or whatever I will give it ~40 winds or so.

Check out the atomic clock app. it syncs directly to the atomic clock and bypasses the hicups of your smart phone. Just an added step in our shared OCD.

Out of every watch I have ever purchased my subc has been the most accurate of all....and most expensive hahahahaha. I was genuinely surprised by the accuracy even better than any eta 2824 ive had. I honestly was not expecting it to be any more accurate than some of my other lesser expensive pieces but it is and I love it.

If your Rolex is gaining and/or losing 5 seconds per day I'd be checking my phone accuracy because that is very, very poor precision for a Rolex.

Are you serious? I thought that was within COSC? Either way at the end of two months it is a TOTAL of 5 sec slow. I think that's outstanding!
