Smith Military PRS-29A accuracy.

[Neil.Ldn]

Currently 0.5 secs fast over the four days since I got it - making it the most accurate mechanical watch I have owned so far.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

That is super impressive for any mechanical 8)

Very good... the 29A I've been wearing since it arrived on Friday is +16 over the 4 days... however, I don't personally care how accurate a watch is (unless it's minutes out an hour) as I change so often!

[Seabadger]

Mine is about +10 after 3 days - I think that's just about ok 8)

[Neil.Ldn]

I'm sure it's luck of the draw with 'off the shelf' movements, and I'm also sure things will change as the movement runs in, but I've not reset the time since I got it on the 4th, so thats 8 days - and its now +2 seconds!

I've got three watches with the 2801-2 movement, and they all keep time within 2 seconds a day.

I'm the same... when I sell watches I often have interested parties ask "how accurate is it?"... I never have a clue... :lol:

[ChronoCop]

Mine's about three/four seconds fast per day.

[Seamaster73]

Mine's gained about 30 seconds in a fortnight. I'm not anal about accuracy in mechanicals, but I'm very happy with that. :)

[Stuart]

+3 secs per day - more than happy to get cosc performance without the certification!

Both my A and B are within 5 seconds per day, very well adjusted and very precise for a basic mechanical. In my experience the 2801-2 can be adjusted to a couple of seconds per day. Of course the daily full wind, preferably always at the same time is essential to get good results.

How many winds each day?
Do you keep going until it doesn't want to go any further - I would fear that this would not be good for the spring?

[Glamdring]

My 2801 (PRS-53) takes over 40 winds. You can tell when it's tightening up at the end.

Mines running about +/- 2 sec/day. I hope it doesn't get worse once its run in.
