Why wait that long? I was as surprised as you to find out these watches aren’t actually “great” at keeping time. You’d expect set it and forget it, right? People also say things like “this is part of your relationship with your watch” which mean you know it mechanically and you build habits around keeping time. Every other day I lost about a minute so every other day I reset it. I simply coordinate it with the time on my iPhone but whatever you choose is great. They say this is just part of the hobby…

Mine runs fast so every week I’ll pull the crown out to hack the second hand and wait until it’s 15 sec slow and then resume
Actually, “set it and forget it” is pretty much only said about quartz watches.
