After seeing it used on the 'Just One More Watch' YouTube channel, I installed the Watch Check app on my phone and like a massive geek with nothing better to do, started checking the accuracy of various watches. Surprised to see my most accurate automatic, a Seiko 7002-7009 is keeping better time (+0.9s/day) than my least accurate quartz (G-shock, -1.2s/day).

Least accurate = Seiko Orange monster, 7s26 movement, +22s/day! Clearly needs regulating
Most accurate = Seiko SSC017 chronograph, quartz/solar, +0.1s/day

Anyone else use this app, or a similar/better one?

I'm pretty sure this is cheating.


But I'll install it to check my automatics smile.

When I were a lad, for reasons unbeknown to me, the clock in the living room was always five minutes fast.

I recall reading many moons ago "The more accurate watches become, the more accurate we demand".

Guess we all need a watch these days accurate to 1/10th of a second in 1000 years biggrin
