Depends on the particular complication of the watch:

If a watch includes a chronograph then it 100% should be +/- < 1 second within the max time recording limits. This is why I view the Grand Seiko Spring Drive chronograph as the best ever made. My Patek 5960 is also almost exactly accurate when worn over a 12 hour period.

What is your tolerance?
By: Thomas_3 : June 24th, 2019-07:09
I saw a post earlier regarding regulating a watch and how accurate it can be made. What is your tolerance for accuracy, a second or two a day, 3,4 or more? The way I look at it is this way, I want my watches to be accurate but they don't have to be right ...
I don't mind few seconds..

I rotate my watch on daily basis and don't believe in winders(hence my love for three hands w date watches) so set them whenever I wear them

It would bother me though to know that my watch is not "accurate". But then again, i dont test them at all. Just wear the.
That is very true,

It would bother me IF my watch is not accurate, but I don't test them to find out... just trust the manufacturer with overhauls
Don’t really care

I must admit I don’t really care about the accuracy, if it’s unworn for a while you must adjust or wind it anyway But I do like winders just for the convenience of just having to set time and occasionally the date but most of the times the watch I want is...
My tolerance is 5 seconds a day

I once had a Blancpain Tourbillon which was 15 seconds fast a day. I understood why it had been sold to me at a 75% discount! Fortunately, I managed to sell it an an auction. For me nowadays, the beauty of the movement, case, dial and hands is insufficien...
Great Topic!

I have only ever worn mechanical (mainly automatic -winding) watches. I have become accustomed to whatever watch I am wearing to be accurate within about 5 minutes per month. I am totally good with that. Recently, I bought a brand new Patek Philippe 5320g...
I have to confess that I want my watches
By: MTR : June 24th, 2019-11:59
to be accurate. Even if I know that these are mechanical watches. I have the luck that most of my watches are reliable in this respect. I can easily accept +1 to +4 seconds per day, but cannot bear when one of my watches loses time. Thanks for this intere...
