My automatic watch has gain (loss) time for 5 minutes a week. How do I regulate my watch to a normal accuracy?

To regulate your automatic watch, please put your watch on the position according to the suggestions below when leaving your watch overnight, this will helps compensate or gain for the time required.

If your watch faces up for overnight, it will gain a few seconds (if your watch has been running slow).

If your watch positioned with crown pointing down for overnight, this will make the watch lose a few seconds (if your watch has been running fast).

If your watch positioned with crown pointing up for overnight, this will make the watch lose rather more seconds (if your watch has been running too fast).

Please try this for about 2-4 weeks.

Hope this will helps regulate your automatic watch.
