Exp2 Date change taking long

[Vitzz]

Hey everyone,

I have an Exp 2 226570 and I have recently noticed the time it takes for the date to change after 12am is approximately 5-7 mins.

I've read most people say 1-3 mins is the average window for the date to change.

I wanted to see if this is normal or if anyone has had a similar experience?

The date should change instantly.

When it changes visually is a function of where the hands were pressed on at assembly and a few minutes either way is normal. It is a visual thing, they aren't connected directly to each other.
There is generally nothing wrong with the watch or movement if yours is more or less than some average you read about - they're averages, not absolutes.

If it is actually malfunctioning then, of course, you should have it looked at.

It's definitely taking longer than a few mins which is what concerned me and perhaps a malfunction.

I have spoken to my AD and waiting on a response.

Welcome aboard

Is this a new watch or did this recently start happening with an older watch?

I'm not sure OP understands what Tools said. With my 126234 the date changes approx 6-7 mins after midnight. When it changes, it changes instantly. It sounds to me that OP is describing similar results to my 126234 if I am understanding correctly.

No worries.
Mine changes pretty exactly at 00.06.15
I had the same thoughts when I got mine, but I’m not up at 00.00 anyway

Been having the same issue with my new GMT. Date will change around 7 minutes past midnight. Otherwise been keeping great time. Within about +1 second per week give or take. Don’t necessarily want to have it messed with because I’d prefer it keep good time vs have the date be instantaneous… Though it still bothers me.

The date should change instantaneously and as long as it’s within 10 minutes (usually 7) it is ok. Atleast that is my understanding having owned this reference and a GMT.
