The Breitling Watch Source Forums

As most of you know, I picked up a brand new Super Avenger on Saturday. I have noticed it is running 8 seconds fast each day. I have been re-setting each day to check. I have read on here that it might take 2-3 months for the watch to "break-in." So my question is, how many seconds should I expect the watch to decrease by the time it is broken in? Is it as much as 3-4 seconds or should I only expect it to shread 1-2 seconds?

Thanks

That's like asking how long is a piece of string I'm afraid. There are numerous variables that impact rate, and you also can't expect the rate to be consistent day to day as it will be affected by temperature, power reserve, position, etc, etc. I would expect it to settle within COSC specs but more than that is impossible to say.

After a few months... What is a better timeline to consider? A week, month?

Anything less than weekly is just going to give you unnecessary heartburn. If you need to the second accuracy on a daily basis then you are going to have to buy quartz.
