Hi folks
I'm lucky with my Steelfish, it gains about 1 second a day. I know when being COSC certified they test it in different orientations, and this made me wonder. Obviously when worn on the wrist, the watch goes through lots or random orientations and movements all through the day. But at night, when it's not being worn...?
I wondered what the experts here thought about how different fixed orientations affect the watch speed? Eg does one cause it to run faster, another slightly slower, one much slower?
The orientations I can think of are:
on its side crown down,
on it's side crown up,
flat on its back,
flat on its face.
Also do temperature changes affect the speed? Body temp is quite warm, does cooling down at night speed it up or slow it down?
Ultimately, I'm wondering if leaving it in the warmer lounge, or cooler bedroom, and in a particular orientation, might be used to slow down a slightly gaining watch, or speed up a slightly slow one, to help the average gain get closer to zero.
