I am wondering if someone is wearing a watch on the right wrist (lefty) lose more seconds compared to those who wear it on the left wrist (righty)? As from what I have know, one's watch will be losing more seconds per day with the crown up position. Time to learn from the expert here!

Best regards,

Accuracy of the watch depends on the wearer, right? Lots of wrist movement v not very much? I could be wrong. If that is the case, I don't know if I do more with my right hand or not but maybe it makes a difference over a long period of time.

I was thinking that the watch position ( crown up or crown down while wearing the watch on the left vs right wrist ) will affect the accuracy?

Crown up watch runs slower than crown down.

In terms of accuracy this could go either way depending on your watch.

Does this means that usually lefty watch run slow while righty run fast? As lefty wear it on the right wrist and always in the crown up position while walking, running or anything ; righty is totally opposite (crown down always).

I was wondering if a tsunami or an earthquake would affect the accuracy?

Where have you been?

Does it really matter?

Has anyone actually missed a bus/train/late for a meeting because your said watch has lost a second here and there because it was worn on different wrists?

Seems like every motion in our daily life affects the accuracy! Haha but most important is to enjoy the watch and not only the accuracy! Happy watching!

Well the amount of difference it would make if there was any difference does it really matter.If any mechanical watch can perform too or slightly inside the COSC spec a AVERAGE of -4 to +6 seconds over 24 hours thats a mechanical marvel.So what this boils down too mechanical watches will perform slightly different on one persons wrist.But on a different persons wrist might be a second or so either way.But does a few seconds out of 86400 really matter its not life threatening.

It is threatening! As I hope to stare at my watch full 86400 or plus but not minus! Haha

It seems that you are assuming that the person would be standing to order all day long. Normally, arms are moved during the day and if you think about it, your wrists are often in an horizontal (neutral) position.
