I'm now seriously worried that I don't worry enough about how I set my watches! What fresh OCD hell is this?! 😁

OP - If you live your life with this level of OCD and can still function as a human being, please share what pills you take.

I’m just playing devil’s advocate here; as usual I find myself in agreement with what Dan says.

BUT, arguably, it’s not obsessive to want to know how best/most accurately to set the time on an extravagantly expensive machine whose avowed purpose is to tell time with breathtaking accuracy.

I always hack with the second hand at 12 (and haven’t had a watch with big backlash issues). Just habit. But I agree that the watch doesn’t care and it doesn’t matter, functionally.

😁😁😁 This thread is cracking me up! Could be a case study for OCD rationalization and the impact on loved ones. “Where is he?” “IDK we are late to a Dr’s appointment because he has been setting his watch for hour and a half surrounded by 3 atomic clocks and a container of Tums.”

Pick Watch up, check a Quartz watch and set the time to it. Wear watch for a few days.

Do this a few times a week with several watches.

I don’t do seconds, life is too short for seconds.

Funny as on my Speedmasters I pretty much only check the seconds hand every now and then to see if it’s actually wound.


(Don’t live in a big city, so actually rarely do minutes outside of work 😁)
