Hardly the most scientific of tests — COSC don’t test with a Sony headset wired mic plugged into a lightning port, poked under a strap, plugged into an iPhone app. Nor do they test for a few short minutes sat on a bed between household tasks. Dial up, naturally, I am not completely without scientific rigour. (I had to restart to take the screenshot, having bounced the setup on the mattress trying to press the buttons mind you) But… I would argue that’s more real world conditions right?
I will do more in depth testing at some point I imagine, but for now, check that out. Either I have magic wrists, or Orient is pretty darn accurate. (My longer observations from records have it at about minus 2 per day)
What do you think? Do you guys test yours ad-hoc at home? Is your watch better behaved on your wrist than off? Orient recommends wearing 8 hours a day at least, so is expecting a watch sat in a box to keep itself in shape a fair test?

i did test my laco venedig: +2 s/d
good enough for me.
my wife's laco valencia is less accurate: +15 s/d

Guess that next step is tweaking levers to adjust. Or finding a professional to do it.
Orient all the way!
Cheers!
My recording app has the watch actually at -1.7 seconds a day after a long stretch of records, which seems pretty good. I’m certainly no more than about half a minute off Actual and it’s been weeks since I last set it.
Welp, nobody said that Great watches must come with even Greater price tags... Or COSC certification neither... 😁
