My GMT accuracy

So I got my GMT in June and at first I thought I made an impulsive buy pm but that's what I do with everything I purchase. Thought where I can put the money for savings or towards the house with upcoming projects and so on. But everytime I look at my wrist I realize I made the right decision. Anyways in July I calibrated my watch according to time.is website for the new month and I have been checking it every so often. I figured I would let the watch run and not reset it until October when I have to skip the last day. Anyways he watch has been running now for 83 days and it is running a total of 56 seconds slow. Rough math tells me I'm losing a little over half a second a day (.65 to be exact).

Nice stats.

I prefer mine to run 0.65 s/d fast so I can hack it very quickly every morning..

It falls within COSC spec. 83 days = 7,171,200 seconds. 56 seconds slow is not too shabby.

Have you tried putting the watch on its back when it's off to regulate?
Hope this helps! Enjoy your watch.

No I haven't done that cause I only take it off if working on house/car. And when I'm not wearing it may only be an hour or so.

That is great accuracy. That's about what both my new Rolex models are doing without using a corrective resting position at night. When resting my watches at 6 o'clock up at night, I can maintain a +2 seconds in months.
