Sorry, I know I shouldn't bite, but..... I just can't subscribe to the "just wear it no matter what the timekeeping is like" school of thought. You don't need a timegrapher (and nor do I own one) to tell if your watch is losing multiple seconds a day. Since my own SD43 is currently losing 10 seconds a day, I can very easily see that when I'm 5 mins late for meetings/trains/flights etc, at the end of a typical month.
When people are losing upwards of 20 to 30 seconds a day it quickly renders a watch as little more than a decorative bracelet - an expensive piece of costume jewellery. Losing 20 to 30 secs a day means you're off by 10 to 15 mins at the end of a typical month.
We may as well just pull the crown out and know that our watches are right twice a day!
