Simple Adjustments for Watch Timing Inaccuracies
Timing inaccuracies in watches can be a nuisance, especially for enthusiasts who value precision. While quartz watches may simply require a battery replacement to correct large errors, the challenge often lies with mechanical watches.
In many cases, timing issues can be resolved without professional help. One common problem is the watch running slow due to insufficient power reserve. This situation is often encountered by individuals who do not wear their watches regularly or lead a mostly sedentary lifestyle, resulting in inadequate winding of the mainspring. A simple solution is to manually wind the watch to ensure it has enough power.
However, it’s worth noting that while mechanical watches are designed to endure daily activities, engaging in high-impact sports or extreme activities with your watch on is not recommended. For such activities, it is advisable to switch to a dedicated sports watch designed to withstand those conditions.
Adjusting a mechanical watch’s accuracy isn’t always straightforward, but maintaining an optimal power reserve and being mindful of the watch’s limitations during physical activities can help minimize timing discrepancies. For more significant timing issues or adjustments, consulting a professional watchmaker is always the best course of action.
