What did you do with your Z today IV

hey mustang- my orient watch can't keep the time straight. it advances on its own about 6-10min per day if i wear it, will keep the time perfectly if not worn. but then dies.

so i ended up getting a seiko kinetic watch. very accurate.

Sounds like it needed some regulation!

My first ever watch was a Seiko kinetic (I still have it safely stored away.) They are nice and keep perfect time. But I prefer the intricacies of automatic movements, even if they are relatively inexpensive like the Seiko 7S26 and require some regulation. I can get the 7S26 to get to +/- 10-15 seconds per day which is good for that movement.

I might source some parts later this year to build a watch with a Swiss ETA automatic movement.

I have had a Casio G-Shock Multi Band 5 Atomic Solar watch for about 10 years now. It keeps perfect time. My wife gave it to me as a birthday present. It was pricey at the time, but it has been worth the cost. I say invest in a good watch, and call it a day. Inaccurate watches bother me.

What wrong with getting out of work 6-10 minutes early? According to your watch, you could be done a weeks worth of work by Thursday
