路At that sort of timekeeping accuracy, perhaps exploring the effects of time dilation might be one rabbit hole to go down - see http://www.emc2-explained.info/Time-Dilation/#.WMxtIDvyiHs
Putting the watch in different positions when off the wrist may marginally affect the timekeeping, but honestly, if +/-1 second a day stresses you out, then maybe mechanical watches are not for you 馃榿

路If your looking for better accuracy, go quartz, but once you go "mechanical you never go back"

路1 sec per day! Thats a good watch and within COSC. Just leave it alone sir. My speedmaster was 37 secs fast. After two OB visits, came back with +2 sec as of yesterday. Im hapoy for you for one sec. My PO runs about +1 which i was really happy with it.

路Yeah I know -/+1 per day is considered as an accurate movement but I heard people saying their watches lost or gained seconds as they leave their watches in different directions.
but yeah I get it.

路That's correct you can take it to Omega Boutique near by then will mearure for you, real quick. They usually do a horizontal, crown up, and crown down. If I remember correctly. 馃榾 馃槈

If you leave your watch resting dial up or down or crown up or down it will gain or lose a few seconds possibly over night or over a day or two. You will have to test it to find out how much it may gain or lose in each position.

路It's true, watches do gain or lose different amounts in different positions, and if you care to you can measure each and leave the watch in an appropriate position to minimize it, or balance out what happens when it's being worn.
At plus or minus a second a day, you would probably only need to set it once a week or so, yes? Maybe not even that?
A person more obsessive than that about accuracy would be less frustrated with a high-accuracy thermocompensated quartz.

Those "tips" should be ignored. The only way to know what specific positions gain or lose time is to test them - that Rolex thing gets posted all the time, but bears no resemblance to reality.

路I've heard taking it to the top of a very tall building and letting go can help it achieve terminal velocity, and which point it will go faster (briefly) than ever before.

路This position will make my watch goes -1sec/day
This position will make my watch +1 or +1.5sec/day
Hope it helps.
