Considering your watch should be averaging somewhere between -4/+6 seconds over 24 hours, how aften do you check your watch against the internet and then adjust it back to the correct time?

If a watch is running to at least COSC spec (which all mine are), I only tend to reset it when I manually adjust the date at the end of the shorter months. Even a constant gain of the full +6 secs per day is only a minute and a half per month, and considering that generally throughout the year you need to adjust the date once every 2 months, that is more than adequate for me. Most of my watches are a lot better than a constant +6 a day, so the deviation is much less.

I can live with a watch being a couple of mins fast before I reset it. I don't need to live my life to an accuracy of seconds.

When my watch was running fast i.e. more than 5 mins per week I'd adjust it accordingly. Now that it's back within specs, far less frequently :wink:

Basically as often as I need to, I'd say once a month.

I'm too embarrassed to say. :oops:
I'm what you call -anal retentive. :)
Let's just say I feel very close to my thermocompensated Superquartz Emergency Mission. Very.......Very close.

I don't really have a schedule. If I notice that one of mine is showing a noticeably different time from the others that are currently in my rotation then I might change it, otherwise just check it when I change the date. I don't think I've touched my Complications 19 since the clocks went forward in early March and it's still showing good time :D

Usually only when I need to set the date at the end of every second month.

My Chrono Avenger runs a little slow, so I end up adjusting the time every week or so. I am about to send it away for a overhaul, hopefully when it comes back I will only have to change the time monthly.

I've just had my month old Windrider Cockpit sent back to Breitling as it was gaining 5 minutes per day. So...er....it was adjusted every day!

I change whatever I'm wearing - along with those I'm not - when I notice that there's any error. I tend to check it when in the car and the "pips" (time signal) is broadcast. BBC Radio 2 rocks!

Or if I'm bored at work and am sitting at a PC with the atomic clock available, not that I've been bored at work for the last 3 1/2 months!

The 2 I wear mostly are quartz so they are pretty close. I guess it would be more frequent if I wore my Monty more.
