Watch Accuracy
Hi all,
I decided 3 weeks ago to set all of my watches to time.is and check on how well the keep the time.
Earlier this evening, I took a photo of my collection at 6pm and it surprised me on how they all varied so much.
Below is the order of most to least accurate:
G-Shock DW-6900 Bamford: 0s
Moonswatch Jupiter: -2s
Tudor Pelagos 39: +7s
Casio A168: +14s
Armani Fashion: -17s
Casio F-91W: +25s
Wooden watch: -75s
Tag Heuer F1: +95s
MHD Streamliner: +213s
Tag Heuer Carrera: +998s
Unsurprisingly the quartz powered watches make up the top 5 of 6 watches, but it goes to show that the Tudor is performing better than the COSC cerification. It also goes to show that my Carrera is in desperate need of regulating!
Has anyone else done this before? Or just me 😂
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
Woah what’s the watch on the very top left?

That’s the MHD Streamliner, a UK based microbrand.
I'm checking my mechanicals as I wear them, also using time.is and seeing the difference after 24hrs. It's going to take a while to get through them all but I did want to see how they wear rather than bench test, and some I've worn over a few days making notes each day.
Current results have some surprises:
Benyar with a Hong Tai movement achieving between +3/-2 daily over 5 days
Tandorio with an NH35 achieving +1/-1 over a week
Moels Sellita SW200 +10/+12 over a week (so if I regulate it down it's going to be excellent)
Rotary (12 yrs old?) with a Hangzhou making 0 each day for 3 consecutive days - ?!?
Seagull '63 FKJB achieved +10/+14 over 3 days
Sekonda 3017 (near 50yrs) +19/+23 over 4 days
Sturmanskie 4M "Gagarin" from '57 making -9/-36
Sugess "Top Time" ST19 +5/+9 over 5 days
VC Tank ('40) +9
Vostok Zissou +45
Vostok Scuba Dude +17/30 over 4 days
Vostok dress 2403 movement -20
Komandirskie 2414 movement +17
The Carrera needs more than regulating if it's off by 45 spd.

They put a Seiko NH35 in there.
Never done this before. Don’t think I ever will. 😆
I find the modern Tudor movements very accurate.

The strange thing was that when I bought the watch it would run slow. It sat for a period of time without being wound, then I decided to pop it back in the winder and all of a sudden it’s Usain Bolt!
Following on from the original post, I’ve done another image a further 3 weeks on and the results have shocked me.
A few watches have been getting a bit more wrist time than before and I’m sure that will have either helped/worsen the initial recordings.
