Mine is +10 seconds a day which is fine for me.
Well, seeing that I'm hoping to get one of these as soon as they're next in, and theres a thread for the timekeeping of the Dreadnought, I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone has been keeping an eye on the accuracy of their PRS-82?

Mine has been superb - gaining less than seconds per day if I'm up and about, though losing up to 10 seconds if I've been sat on my backside all day on planes, trains or in front of a computer. It likes to be active!

My PRS68 has lost about 35 seconds in 5 mostly inactive days!
I haven't checked mine yet maybe i should.
My 82 has gained 8 seconds this year ;)
Mines lost 3 secs over the first 24 hours from it first being wound
Mines gained around 40 seconds this week.
Mine's also around ten seconds a day.
I believe mine is losing approximately five seconds a day.
Mine was at around 25 seconds a day or more. It has settled down to about -10 seconds a day now.
"I forget who it was that recommended men for their soul's good to do each day two things they disliked ... it is a precept that I have followed scrupulously; for every day I have got up and I have gone to bed."
mine is running at about 6 spd but slows down if you leave it of the wrist for a day.
Had not checked mine but has just gained 12 secs over 24 hours
Mine gains around 5 secs per day - not bad :)
Interesting - since not wearing the watch for 4 weeks - 5 secs / day fast has changed to 15 secs / day slow ... not sure if that will change again as the watch is worn more (?)
Within a second or two,a great watch too.
1st 24hrs +15s, with being off wrist for morning.
Bit over 24 hours here and +1 sec, wrist during the day, bedside table at night.
Can't fault it!
Decent automatics normally hold time to 5-20 secs a day. That's more than accurate enough for most people.
If it isn't and your job or whatever requires better then I suggest a quartz watch.
+20 a day which is just fine by me.....
Still getting within 1s a day on this, amazing.
Mine was gaining about 15 seconds/day over the first week, but now it has settled down.
.. for an NOS Movement from the 80s is the accuracy very great. Mine is as well minus 5-8 sec. on a day.
This watch has a great value from my point :) I love IT!.
Tip: If you lay down the watch down, on the dial! Over night, you may will gain 5 seconds like me. Try it out, different positions over night.
Have fun with the T-REX, hand builded over 2 Nights, up to 100 little tiny and small peaces ,
Again, thank you very much my sweet wife!!
But, please don't buy again these T-Rex 3D Puzzles for our little boy :)
But thanks for the great support, you need at least 4 hands to build it up and the T-Rex is making sound and little movements.
Have fun!
Best regards,
Peter

Mine is losing three seconds per day. That is with face up at night and pretty active wear during the day.
Slight update - mine now about -4secs/day.
Not timed mine for a while but I think it was about 90 secs slow after about 2 weeks last I checked. So roughly -6 secs a day.
More than happy with that.
My Prs82 is 3 minutes slow in a 24hour time period while it is not worn all day I am keeping
a similiar pattern to other Auto's I have for example my Seiko Skx399 keeps between 10-20
seconds fast worn in the same way so I guess I will be sending back for an adjustment.
I am delighted to announce that my Prs82 has arrived (accuracy wise). When I received it and then put it on having high expectations based on what I had heard from declaring incredible accuracy right out of the barrel or starting line as it were, I was sorely disappointed when mine was at 2.5-3 minutes slow in a 24 hour period after a reasonable break in period .... so I am in the USA and my watch is from ... well you all know clear across the pond. Well I finally could not take it anymore and took it into a watch maker and after he was done with it I kid you not, I am seeing in my first 12 hours NO CHANGE AT ALL NO LOSS NO GAIN JUST SPOT ON. I am seriously stoked about my 82 even more that ever since it is doing so well.
One happy camper : )
Well my watch ended up at between six and seven seconds in a 24 hour. After having gone through a night pretty nice I'm so much happier then the two and half to three minutes it was out-of-the-box :-)
Wow to all I am reporting incredible time keeping. I am experiencing 0-2 seconds fast in a 24 hour time period at this time and let me explain a day of wearing this watch which tells us why I am seeing what I am seeing. I am an electrician and will start my day wearing my watch but when it is work time off the watch comes and is placed in a knit cap for safe keeping until the work day ends and then back on she goes so there is between 8-10 hours when the watch is not worn. Once the watch is back on my wrist it stays there through the night and then we start all over again, now this is during the week and I imagine the weekend will be some different as I will wear it 24/7 unless I am doing some work where there might be a chance to damage it.
cheers,
Dan
Could anyone tell me how may seconds per day is within spec for the ETA 2783? My googling has unfortunately let me down Mine has slipped over the last few months from +4 seconds per day to -23 seconds per day...just wondering how this stacks up. Thanks in advance!
Mine's running 5 or 6 seconds fast a day consistently. If that's any help.
I'm lucky, my advances 1 or 2 seconds per day, at night if I leave it leaning against the crown, it slows down and back to 0, for now it is perfect.
Mine loses around 30 seconds a day. I can live with that for now, I'll get it adjusted when it needs a service in a few years
If only there was a quartz option, like the PRS18.
+12 secs or so over a week - dead chuffed with that!
Mine started off at being -3s/day, then went to about -7s/day and then -12s/day.
I then didn't wear it for a while as I rotated my watches - but have started wearing it again last week.
It started of at +3s/day, then went up to +13s/day but over the last 24hrs has run at +8s/day............
Been scrutinising mine all week, only off the wrist for gym and bed and after spiking to -28 secs in the day immediately after setting the time it's settled back down to -7 secs per day for the last 3 days....much better! It has also been rather fun learning lots of new things about movements during the last few days of OCD googling
It's criminal we've not had a pic in this thread yet! Here we go, ticking away on my wrist now, just lovely...
