Icon20 Timekeeping

Has anyone else experienced this my Daytona is keeping perfect time when it's in the box but when I wear it, it gains about 5/8 seconds over the course of a day. It is only about three months old

Timekeeping can vary depending on what position you leave it resting, how often you wear it, etc, by as much as a couple of seconds a day. How do you measure 5/8 of a second over a day anyway?

Either way, you do not have a problem.

5 to 8 seconds surely.

Impressive if someone was worrying about 5/8th of a second.

Sorry for the confusion I meant 5 to 8 seconds not 5/8
