My dad's new Seamaster diver is losing between 0.8 and 2 seconds per day according to a WatchTracker. Should this be something I should chase Omega to rectify considering the METAS agreement should guarantee the movement only gaining time rather than losing it?

Is he doing all 5 positions in the course of a day

 

Solid. Thank you very much. I didn't know any of that.

 

I think I wont say anything

...................... neither did I............

 

Same.
Mine is currently at -1.5/day measured by my tracking app.
But that link to Archer is a great and valued explanation.

 

It never ceases to amaze me that people comment on their watch gaining or losing a couple of the 86,400 seconds there are in any given day, are people really expecting a mechanical time piece to be perfectly in sync with the atomic clock?

Or am I just being grouchy because I haven't had a coffee yet?

 

I have a Seiko that I monitor on the same app, probably worth about £100? It has less deviation than my £4000 Omega?
Just an observation.

 

Completely normal Just wear and enjoy.

 

That kind of +- can be really important.

Is your dad piloting the powered-down Lunar Module, actually towing the CSM back to the earth’s atmosphere?

Was he trying to maneuver to manually adjust the course of the craft?

Did Mission Control determine that he needs to perform a 14-second burn of fuel?

Did he pilot it back to earth?

Hope your dad's home safe.

 

Why be so obnoxious?
This is a legitimate question to be asking on this forum.
The guy is simply asking for some advice?
Also he's talking about a Seamaster???

 

New to automatics and new to luxury watches. New to Omega. Sorry I asked guys.

 

Thanks for sharing - I am definitely a bit more at ease with it now. My Aqua Terra runs pretty much the same too.

Thank you! Definitely doing that now.

 

Don't be sorry.
A forum should be a friendly place where you feel comfortable asking questions.

 

It shouldn't be too hard to relate to someone who is new to the hobby is worried that his $4000 watch is not running according to the specs on paper.

 

Thanks PRW. I guess I'll be more careful not to upset veterans in the watch game with my newbie queries.

I thought everyone was new to the watch hobby once! It was a genuine and innocent question so thank you for understanding. I asked on here because of my ignorance pretty much

 

Take 100 of those Seiko watches, and 100 of those Omegas, and I'm pretty sure you would find that over a larger sample, the Omegas will perform better.

 

Except it is very likely running within specs...it's just that people don't understand the specs.

I do wish the companies who make and market these watches would more fully explain what these tolerances mean, because I answer this question at least once a week somewhere. That's why I made a thread here that can easily be referenced so I didn't have to keep writing it all over again. So I don't blame the people asking, I'm blame the brands for not fully explaining things....
