Chronometer (aka yacomino) shares an impressive real-world accuracy report for his Longines sector dial, achieving a remarkable ±1 second per day over five days. This post offers valuable insights into the performance of modern Longines movements and highlights the impact of resting positions on a watch's daily variance, a critical consideration for collectors seeking optimal precision from their mechanical timepieces.

Over a 5 day period the variance is ~1 sec/day on this one which I find impressive!  Happy Wednesday!

While relatively not an expensive watch, I was afraid the accuracy wouldn’t be that good, however with your field tested report I feel more assured that I’ll be happy with this watch. Also same as you, just got the iPhone 14 Pro,( my 6) yes, 6, just couldn’t handle the 2023 standards;-))), so I’m on the learning curve, but your pictures are very nice. So I appreciate the feedback on the watch and phone.🥂

My Tuxedo Longines has the same movement and I get the same of outcome 2-3 sec/day. I would say typical is more around 2-3 sec/day. I got to 1sec a day in part because of the position I let it rest at night for the past 5 days. You will love your new phone. I suggest you try shooting raw and use the 1x or 2x lens which use the new 48Mpix sensor.

This Longines sports a finely executed sector dial and I feel the slender hands are a good match too.
