How often do you reset your watch?

I rotate daily and have to set the watch every time. I'm never too fussy about setting it and never check it at the end of the day so except for my vintage watches that I deliberately check from time to time I'm not sure how inaccurate my watches are. 🤷

That seem like a very sane way to go about watches 👌😅

what type of application do you use? i manually calculate accuracy of my watch. everyday I write down the + or - of the watch compare to the current time. If I dont like the accuracy I use timegrapher, and regulate it. I can tolerate +5 to -5 spd.

It‘s called Twelve! I can highly recommend it. You need to pay like a small sum for the premium version, which allows you to add as many watches as you want, but it’s really worth it.

I work in the production department at a hockey/concert arena where where we have to fire specific video audio or lighting cues at specific times. So I usually set the automatic I'm wearing when I arrive as a matter of routine. No big deal and I think it's a nice, fun way of interacting with that cool little machine on your wrist. In those stretches where we don't have events, a watch being off by a minute or so is no biggie.

I have sent back for service an IWC a few days ago. It was running +13 spd meanwhile manufacture tolerance is claimed to be 0/+7 spd. I wondered if I wasn't being a little too demanding about accuracy…

I only wear my one mechanical watch, so I found out that if it is about 2mins off, it will start bothering me and I will readjust.

I regulate all my mechanical watches myself. I will tolerate a little fast but never slow. If I am wearing a mechanical watch for the day I set the time before I put it on.

As long as it’s close. I’m not timing a burn for a manual re-entry.

Whenever im a minute or more off I'll readjust, so it depends on the watch

If I need split second accuracy I'll either wear a digital/smart watch or my phone anyway)

Don’t ask me, mate.

I’m rocking a 9R and a 9F 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

😂👌😎🤩

I reset it every other month when the date needs adjustment.

If I need something super accurate I’ll wear one of my quartz watches.

Have you tried an app called WatchTracker? It’s free and curious if Twelve offers anything above and beyond what WatchTracker provides.

Generally speaking, I’d like my watch to be within +/- 30s of the actual time.

So for watches that are roughly +/-5spd, I’ll reset it once every two weeks by setting it ahead or behind 30s.

Spring Drive seems to something like +0.1spd on so will probably set it to -5s and reset in a month or two.

Super interesting approach 👌

Not free where I live😕…so I cannot say. But you can check out Twelve for free. The main advantage of the premium version - which I think I paid 1€ for - is that you can add multiple watches.

I used to do that when I was working a demanding job :p

Once every other month or so when I have to skip past the 31 on my date I reset the time. Otherwise unless it's off enough I'm late for work I don't bother, I'm not doing precise experiments, I don't need to know the Exact time.
