My Reihl Synchronar coped admirably
Let's see some Perpetual Calendars do their stuff.

Well indeed, any date only or no date watch will cope with the 29th. But it would be nice to see some perpetual calendars, or even some annual calendars going slightly wrong.Originally Posted by unclealec
Sorry, the only perpetual calendar in my collection that has automatically revealed the 29th February is the Countryfile.
Edit- actually....

Cool, I appreciate this is an easy win for most digitals! Are the triple sensors pressure, temp and compass?Sorry, the only perpetual calendar in my collection that has automatically revealed the 29th February is the Countryfile.
Edit- actually....
From an unreliable memory I think they are barometric pressure, temperature, and altitude.
I can probably tell you more when I sober up.
Believe Caruso is correct - Caisio triple sensors are temperature, pressure and compass.
Altitude and barometric pressure are linked, both using the pressure sensor.
I am expecting this one to sail through the month change tonight...

Thanks Kingstepper.

At 9pm this evening I'll get an alert from my phone. I'll move on the date on three watches, and set a new alert for April 30th. Always fancied an Annual Calendar, but I like how this doesn't cost me 20 grand or whatever
No problem for mine today!

I’ve always wanted one of those and regret not getting one when they were more readily available (and before the prices went north). Great watch.I am expecting this one to sail through the month change tonight...

Same here.
I'm kicking myself that I didn't get all three colour options when they were £200 or whatever it is they were.
Of the ones I have close to hand these two (H557 and H557) have struggled:

How do ensure the perpetual calendar is set correctly?
The perpetual calendar on my Longines VHP worked faultlessly, but then it should as it's programmed for all dates up to 2399.

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Although the battery lasts 8 years and the perpetual calendar is not affected by battery changes, it is possible to reset it or change it.
You can also check the calendar and leap year from the crown:
Pull out to first click, push back in to the normal position within a second.
The second hand moves quickly at five-second intervals and stops to indicate the number of years that have passed since the last leap year. The date window then shows the current month briefly, before returning to the date.
Clever stuff, Seiko
It will get lost in the Friday thread, so for those possibly interested...

Very clever! Especially from such a ‘humble’ watch.Although the battery lasts 8 years and the perpetual calendar is not affected by battery changes, it is possible to reset it or change it.

That is very cool
Super cool.
Loved the way that the second had stops, while the date changes to the 1st and then moves to the correct second.

Have the same one and I love it to bits. Perfect size, incredibly useful complication.I am expecting this one to sail through the month change tonight...

Sailed through. The most comfortable reliable watch I have the luck to wear.
My Casio GW5610U worked fine and my BB58, well not an issue....
Absolutely gorgeous! It’s the only model I’d change my Annual Calendar for.

Clever, but a pain in the arse to set, believe me!Although the battery lasts 8 years and the perpetual calendar is not affected by battery changes, it is possible to reset it or change it.

My dad had one of these and my son sometimes wears it and every now and then I have to reset the damn thing when the battery dies (and it's not every 8 years in his case!)

I believe you. I have owned quite a few variants of these movements and it is a bit of an adventure if you ever have to reset the calendar. But it's a rare event, and unless the outside of the case is to be soiled by additional pushers, I think unavoidable.
I've mentioned it before, but just the engineering (to a budget, remember) and passion to design, manufacture, release and support a 20spy high frequency perpetual calendar watch operated with one crown, requiring no input for years (if you live in Japan, where we don't have summer time) always quietly impresses.
By the time I ever need to intervene, if I ever do, I almost look forward to it.
That's a cracking capture you've made there, cheersIt will get lost in the Friday thread, so for those possibly interested...
I put this on today only to realise it hasn’t accounted for the leap year!
