I have a Q Timex 1978 Reissue that only gained ten seconds between daylight savings adjustments. I have a Citizen Eco Drive that performed about the same. My vintage citizen from 1981 lost between 15-20 seconds. I have a vintage Bulova LCD from 1977 that gained 17 seconds (I tweaked the trimmer screw to achieve this). My Certina DS Action Precidrive only gains 2 seconds between time changes.
However, I recently got a Seiko SNE575 with a V147 movement that gains a second every three days. That means it will gain roughly a minute in between daylight savings adjustments; however, it is still within spec for this movement. While it is within spec, it seems very mediocre, especially for the retail price of the watch. Was I just really lucky with my other quartz watches? How do everyone else’s quartz watches keep time?
