After about 2.5 years of ownership, my SOH II has decided it's going to run about a minute to 2 minutes slow per day. I first noticed about a week ago, every morning when I put on my watch, it'd be about 6 seconds behind. This was annoying as the watch is supposed to be COSC certified. Over...

I recently bought a new Hamilton Khaki Auto Day/Date with an H30 movement. It was running awesome at +6spd! I was trying out lying it in different positions overnight to slow it down a tad just to squeeze out that little bit of accuracy and get as close to +/-0spd as I could. A couple nights ago...

Edit: Watch sold, thank you! For sale is a Slow Jo 17 24 hour watch from my private collection. Ebay item number 114128941809 (I believe I still cannot post links, but let's try: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114128941809) * Stainless steel case (really slim, only 9.50 mm); * Vintage looking...

I have a brand-new Sub 114060, which as many will know has the 3130 movement inside. So far it's been running about -1.5 sec/day on average. This is within Rolex's own specification, so I don't see it as a problem, but I'd of course prefer it to be running on the + side of things. What have...

Hi, Just wondered if anyone can offer any advice/guidance on the following. The pushers are sticking, which seems fairly common, usually down to the hardened rubber seals. I took it to the local watch repair guy, who initially informed me that the seals were rock hard and needed replacing. I...

Could anyone please explain whats going on here? I got Tissot ETA 2824-2 movement. At first it was about 10 sec/day fast. After a month it s now about 1 sec slow after 2,5 days. Equal wear style all the time... about 1 day full wear and 2 days sitting still but I move it for about 5 mins before...

The one hand watches crossed my mind today when I read about the JCK in Las Vegas and know that Meistersinger is exhibiting there. I then wondered how many one hand watch brands we have worldwide? My list: Botta-Design Meistersinger Neuhaus (check their JANUS DoubleSpeed special edition in Red...

I only ask because these are, in essence, cheap watches. Inexpensive. I once owned a black dial Mako diver (gave it to my father in-law) and currently own a Mako XL and what was once called the Multi-Eye (I believe it has had a name change). Both are over two years old and both are getting slow...

Hi. I am wondering if anyone can help. I have a Casio Edifice Waveceptor (EQM 710). About 3 months after receiving it, it began losing time. It would lose about 5 minutes every day. I returned it to Casio in Australia and they replaced the module. I received it back but it started doing...

"You need to be able to turn your mobile phone off over the weekend" An interview with Corvin Lask (left) and Chris Noerskau (right) of slow watches. The evolution of watches is inseperably linked to speed and precision, to progress and science and, as some feel, to a world spiraling beyond...

Two weeks ago I had contact with the founders and owners of Slow Watches from Germany. They introduced their brand to me, and I especially liked the way they set up their marketing by slogans like: "Slow is not a speed. It's a Mindset that Most of Us somehow Lost. Let's make Time to bring back...

Hello all, I have owned an Orient Mako XL since the beginning of last summer. I really love the watch and I always get complements on it. One time I even got a complement on it from a Jeweler (who had never heard of Orient) when I was getting a battery swapped out in another watch! My watch...

If you had to have your watch set either slightly fast or slightly slow, which would you rather?

So I have an automatic seamaster (i assume early bond one on account of the smaller thingy on the back and no globe) which I bought off ebay and luckily it's got a 3 month warranty and the seller doesn't mind returns. At first I noticed it ran about 20 seconds slow a day. It could be more as I...

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to watches. I bought a Seiko SKX013, my first mechanical watch, on the advice of several people on the forum. I've been loving it until I dropped it from 3 ft. onto a tile surface about two hours ago today.:-( It has lost four seconds since! Extrapolated, that's...
