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

Sorry, the only perpetual calendar in my collection that has automatically revealed the 29th February is the Countryfile.
Edit- actually....

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!

Of the ones I have close to hand these two (H557 and H557) have struggled:

My Aerospace thinks it’s Thursday 1st.
Time to check the manual.
Same as any other day …

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![]()
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....

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.
I put this on today only to realise it hasn’t accounted for the leap year!
