A community for watch & horology discussion.
The practice of "strategic resting" to compensate for positional variance is common -- especially with Japanese movements. I do the same with an older Orient and can go weeks without adjustment.
The question about a COSC movement doesn't make sense to me. If the watch is running within COSC specs, why would you break that so you could then compensate for it??? This seems ridiculous.
I think I asked about a COSC level movement specifically, because I know these to be adjusted for several positions. So I was thinking that these were also the movements for which it might be technically possible to intentionally have one position gain time, and another loose time. While as for cheaper movements, it would be pure luck of the draw, as one can't adjust them per position at all? I was just curious.
Because COSC isn't accurate enough. It can be from -14 to +28s a week. Which is far outside what I ideally want. But with strategic resting, I can avoid setting the watch altogether, and basically have the accuracy I'm looking for without spending a little over a minute every other morning to set the watch.
