Was that soft enough?

And it’s TREAD.

Surprised Aussies don’t have recurring appointments after what Stoksey and Leachey did at Headingley...

My Timegrapher lets me check my adjustments and also positionally correct some others.

Why spoil my fun?
If that gives you enjoyment by all means go for it

I’m Scottish so I don’t follow rugby.

My phone is very accurate. I never need to be "very accurate" unless I'm setting my Rolex.

My Rolex... Meh... I'd hate to rely on it in a life or death situation in terms of keeping time... but it looks better on my wrist than my phone.

PS: Rugby... I remember those days

Some members here really showed their ass. Sorry OP. I'm curious about getting a timegrapher myself for the additional information and curiosity. I know little about the details they show and need to do some research on how to understand it. I know who NOT to ask now ;)

OP, I don’t know about beat error and amplitude, but +2 SPD is excellent.

Yes and it's equally helpful here. Everyone complains about investment threads and wrist presence but if a guy tries to learn about his watch he gets panned. Welcome to TRF where we will decide how you get to enjoy your watch.

Agreed.

But nobody has asked if the +2 figure carries over to the timekeeping on the wrist when worn for the majority of the day. With figures like that I wouldn't be surprised if it actually runs near on 0 seconds per day.

I sincerely hope the OP simply enjoys wearing the watch and doesn't get bogged down in over analysing numbers
