What should I do if my Automatic watch gain/ lose few seconds?
Question
What should I do if my Automatic watch gain/ lose few seconds?
Answer
If your watch loses or gains a few seconds per day, you can correct it without expert aid.
We suggest the following methods to adjust gain/ lose time for watch:
Method 1:
The hairspring in the movement probably got stuck and caused the movement to gain/lose time.
Suggestion is while you wear your watch and shaking your wrist at half the speed of the watches working frequency (3 times per second) for 5 seconds. Most customers found this solution working perfectly and now keeps time accurately.
Method 2:
The rate of a watch varies slightly depending upon its position. You can take it off at night and place it as follows:
1. To gain a few seconds:
Lay the watch flat with the dial uppermost.
2. To lose a few seconds:
Lay the watch vertically with the winding-button downwards.
3. To lose rather more seconds:
Lay the watch vertically with the winding-button uppermost.
