@cell that's normal. Super high precision oscillators use ovens to keep the temperature stable but you can't do that in a watch so they rely on your body to keep their temp stable

@cell ohh, mechanical watch. The best ones are still a fair bit less accurate than a cheap digital one. Afaik readjusting every now and then is just normal, but spring tension shouldn't affect it much i think?
