As mentioned in my earlier post, all my watches live on a winder, and all maintain great accuracy... the worst being the Super Compressor, which gains 5 secs per day now.Spytap wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 4:34 pm Yes, as I wore it more often (I stopped treating it as a shiny new occasion watch, and started just wearing it every day) the accuracy improved. As far as dial legibility, it's perfectly fine for me (unless it's a dark room), but other folks I've showed it to had a hard time reading it. So I'd say it's a personal thing you may have to judge for yourself. But I can read it at a glance pretty easily.
I think being continuously running and having the mainspring maintained at a constant "almost" full wind, has a lot to do with that
There have been and will continue to be arguments about whether watches should be left on winders, but I use a good one which rests the watch for 12 hours and then winds only to maintain the current mainspring wind, so it's about as gentle as possible. For me it's about being able to pick the watch I want to wear and it's ready to go
I would also expect that if you wear the watch through the day, let it rest overnight and then wear again, your accuracy should likely improve too
