What is the most accurate watch you own? Is it a Rolex or some other brand?

Flyer737 · 20 November 2018, 06:40 AM

My new Explorer by a country mile. Outperforms all previous Rolex purchases and any other brand for that matter. Currently averaging +0.2 secs per day, phenomenal

SearChart · 20 November 2018, 06:48 AM

My OP is just as accurate as my manual wind (ETA 2804-2) Hamilton. Both average+1 a day.

I assume you keep it at a +1 on purpose so as it ages it will slow to zero? If thats true (just guessing here) then does it start loosing seconds at a more rapid pace once it starts slowing on a daily basis?

No, I just wear them.

ltmgeller · 20 November 2018, 06:51 AM

My G-Shock is really accurate but it's no ROLEX

enjoythemusic · 20 November 2018, 07:27 AM

After many Pateks, etc the Rolex SS SkyD blue is +/-2 seconds after about a month. Sub ND / Daytona / DD40 are all about +/-1 second a day. Pateks were about +/-3 seconds a day and would vary more day-to-day than a Rolex (read: Rolex tends to be consistently 'accurate' in being +1 second a day).

The most accurate watch I own is my G Shock but that's not why I collect watches.

Well it must be a little bit otherwise you'd be collecting gold bracelets :D

todd.hepburn · 20 November 2018, 07:40 AM

Tudor in house. It was crazy this year. Gained 53 seconds total between spring forward and fall back.

subprimero · 20 November 2018, 07:47 AM

Grand Seiko SBGX063 thermocompensated quartz. Accuracy of 10 seconds per year.

Jhowton23 · 20 November 2018, 07:56 AM

of watches ive ever owned- my oris 65 is was always spot on.

that i own now- pam523

Mystro · 20 November 2018, 08:10 AM

Rolex with the new movements have trounced any other manufacture I have owned and I had a Omega PO that was very good. My CHNR runs perfect for 3 weeks and counting. Both watches I have tested with the new movement beats the new +2 and -2 standard easily. The SD43 was +.50 in 4 days and CHNR cruises weeks at 0.0 seconds.

Ian Macdermott · 20 November 2018, 08:22 AM

Discounting several radio controlled watches, my 30 year old Oysterdate is the most accurate. Set the time on the 28th of October due to clocks going back and its still spot on to the second. After that its my Tudor black bay ETA.

callen4533 · 20 November 2018, 08:59 AM

My 2018 Daytona is time perfect, sitting in a watch winder.

Andad · 20 November 2018, 09:31 AM

My Seiko Astron.

Steerpike999 · 20 November 2018, 09:45 AM

Rolex = GMTMII less than 1-2 secs a week
NON-Rolex = Apple Watch 1st gen

Rilz · 20 November 2018, 09:46 AM

The most accurate is my new OP

Believe it or not, my 16520, which is 21 years old and who knows when it was last serviced. Least accurate is my 15450 by far, even after servicing.

Houston77 · 20 November 2018, 10:29 AM

My DJ41 when consistently worn. I had it at pretty much 0.0 accuracy when I wore it 4 or so times a week. In the winder, however, it loses about 2-3 seconds/day.

Most my rolexes are around +2 seconds a day. Newest DSSD with 3235 is +2.25 per day. Most accurate is my AP 44mm at slightly less than .5 seconds a day.

jakjakman · 20 November 2018, 12:59 PM

My Sub is usually within 1 second of atomic time the whole month. It gains about a second during the day, and when I set it at 3H over night it's back to within 0.5s of atomic time in the morning.

importstunna · 20 November 2018, 01:10 PM

My 16570 3186 and my BB58 are both around +1/day.

padi56 · 20 November 2018, 06:57 PM

Well one of my most accurate and I do not obsess like many of forum to the exact second,is a Chinese made $60 Seagull ST19 powered Alpha watch after a bit of fine tuning ran well inside COSC spec consistently.As for my Rolex all accurate enough within a few seconds out of 86400 in a day.In my present state when I wake up and can see and read the time that proves I am still alive, thats far more important than obsessing over a miniscule few seconds.

bp1000 · 20 November 2018, 07:21 PM

Rolex are the most consistent and the most accurate for me

Don’t really know which Rolex for me. I just know they are all solid

LPan · 20 November 2018, 07:53 PM

Ive owned a few Rolex, past and present and the new Air King absolutely astounded me by how accurate it was.

Brew · 20 November 2018, 08:27 PM

No clue. I don't track this.

Abdullah71601 · 20 November 2018, 08:32 PM

My 16600 has gained 4 seconds in three months. It's more accurate than the quartz clock on my office wall.
