^^^^ With a 90 hours Power Reserve your Swatch should run to at least Thursday lunchtime, assuming it is fully wound when you take it off at 10pm Sunday night. Guy Sent from my XPERIA 5 III using Tapatalk Quite correct. The only thing we can safely assume is the two are different. The swatch seems ...

Unfortunately, the only other frame of reference I have is very different architecture - the Sistim 51 watch I wear at the weekend. My activity at the weekend is pretty similar to weekday. I take this watch off, typically 10PM Sunday night, and it is still running on Wednesday. The Swatch has an adv...

So, I think there is a problem with my watch. Watched a late movie, took it off around 1am Saturday morning and went to bed. The watch stopped at 9:15PM, Saturday night. This morning I did the wind up test. I’m not sure what to make of that. Certainly around 65 or so winds, while holding then watch ...

I often have difficulty getting to the date position and find the crown goes straight to the 3rd position. It usually takes at least a couple attempts. What works best for me is to put my fingernails under the crown in position one and then pull as slowly as I can. Then I have to remember which way...

This is the question I'm almost afraid to ask.... Given the following scenario: I wear my watch all day Friday I move a lot (get my ten miles of walks in Have a very lazy evening (because it's Friday) I take the watch off when I go to bed, around 11. What rough level of power reserve do I have left ...

I don't think this one needs an introduction (I see one already today). Reminds me I really need a macro lens if I want photograph with my proper camera. Anyway, from my phone:

Possibly CW needs some sort of (perhaps limited) additional channel? I say this because some of the most influential watch people, on places like Youtube, are also dealers* and while they might give a nod to CW they will not give too much bandwidth to something they can't sell. This inevitably limit...

This is part of the reason I flipped (and it really was a flip/moment) into more traditional/proper watches again. The second smart watch had gone into the bin*. I found the C5 Malvern in a drawer, while Spring cleaning, and it just worked. Took a 25 year old quartz Swatch into a Swatch swap and th...

So, the Tide Material strap has grown on me. Somewhat. Nevertheless I have some quick release spring bars and have a Zulu Alpha NATO on order.

Up until the word Audio came up, my first thought was a watch made entirely in Britain... Now Sealander 36mm…. Premium COSC or standard at a grab price (which is where the none GMT Sealander approximately sits)? We’ll know soon.

Ahh, Google Pixel 4a 5g is my phone. There is only one way to charge it - plug it in, and no magnets for accessories. If you wanted to do the kind of test I did, with an iPhone, perhaps an external Lighting microphone would be a good idea. The advice I see online is not to leave watches very close t...

I've just tried a watch accuracy meter that uses the phone's microphone to listen to the watch. How do you achieve that without getting your watch uncomfortably close to the magnetic elements of your phone? Interesting question. I guess the main source of magnetism is going to be the speakers. The ...

Welcome to the rabbit hole, I think.

You can load a free atomic clock on your phone and use it to track your accuracy in different positions and over time. I meticulously track the accuracy over the first two or three weeks to make sure I have a good movement and to understand the time keeping characteristics of the watch. I've just t...
