Quartz watch collection summary
Another PuristS year has gone by. Time for the yearly report.
GS quartz +26s
The Citizen +5s
Tag Microtimer -28s
Pulsar PSR-10 +30s
Sjoo Sandstrom ORC +3s
Still tracking, eh?
Ron,
Can you remind us what are the conditions under which you do these tests or records?
Do you wear the watches, or keep them in climate-controlled storage, or what?
Thanks
Mike
Mike, it might be a decade of these posts. The watches are all unworn...
And stored for the vast majority of the year in a climate controlled place. If one has a dead battery during the year, I wait until the next year's beginning.
Thanks
I knew it had been a long time=that's why I have forgotten all the details.
Did you originally post some of this on the High End Quartz forum at WUS? (brain cells lacking)
One of the eagerly awaited posts :)
Reminding me I need to check out what the final result with my SBGX097 was. So far it's been almost atom clock accurate...
Surprised at the last entry - a chance purchase or was it known for its accuracy?

Definitely :)
It is very interesting to see a long term accuracy comparison and you are a great source 
Is the Sjoo Sandstrom ORC known for its special accuracy?

No it is a watch where the selection of quartz crystals is better than the average quartz watch...
They are not thermoccompensated.
Thanks for clarifying!
They would not have struck me as a brand pursuing absolute precision so I was a bit surprised. Have you tried any of the Bulovas with the 262khz Precisionist movements?
I have not but other forum members have. The earlier additions had accuracy problems..
But the current ones are better. Personally concerned about aging in those watches.
Just a general sense that nonthermocompenssted watches can have severe..
Aging problems. Several posters are happy with these watches. No money or time to test one out as I am going to decrease the number of watches I own.
Making a decision by early next week. Might be a long while...
Before I can share it with any PuristS.
