Accuracy of Mechanical Watches
●
The accuracy of mechanical watches is indicated by the "daily rate."
●
The accuracy of mechanical watches may not fall within the specied
range of time accuracy because loss/gain changes due to the position
of the watch, which is dependent on the conditions of use, such as
the length of time during which the watch is worn on the wrist, arm
movement, and whether the mainspring is wound up fully or not, etc.
● The loss/gain of mechanical watches is not measured by a daily
rate, but by daily rates of one week or so.
●Accuracy variation according to temperature
