I like the not having to worry about winding it, it's comfortable and easy to read. The glowing hands work acceptably making it easy to read in the dark. Band / clasp work well too. The day, date and time are all easy to alter.
What I don't like is that it gains about 10 to 12 seconds every day. The Maratac AQC ( battery) that I was wearing previously would keep to the second for over a month.
Can the fast running be adjusted? |
You can have it regulated but it likely will still vary on accuracy in real life. What you could try is laying it in different positions when you are not wearing it. Crown up, crown down, watch flat, etc. See what the accuracy is after eight or so hours after trying each position and you will likely find one, or a combo that keeps it more accurate. Other than that, it is well within specs for a non-COSC movement.

How much does it gain/lose after two years? Again, try laying it in different positions. It shouldn't need to be regulated, let alone serviced after only two years.

Because $500-$800 every two years just to get your watch looking a little shinier and a tad more accurate is nuts. Even after a service most Subs will still not be all that accurate over the course of a few weeks. I know mine gains about two minutes minimum per month.

That's good enough for me and the girls I go with.....
