    Factory standard for mechanical watches, Swiss men's watches: +-30 seconds per day, Swiss women's watches: +-40 seconds per day, Japanese men's watches:

    One-day error +-50 seconds, Japanese women's watch: one-day error +-60 seconds, quartz watch: one-month error +-15 seconds; Mechanical watches rely on internal mechanical devices to control the watch evenly and accurately, these mechanical devices will be affected by gravity, ambient temperature and other errors caused by errors, the error of general mechanical watches is calculated by days, according to the model of the movement and the quality of the manufacture are different, generally within 30 seconds of error per day belong to the normal range.

    Some movements with higher precision, such as the Chronometer series, can reach around 10 seconds. Quartz watch is to replace the balance wheel in the mechanical watch with a quartz vibrator, using its correct high-speed oscillation to time, generally speaking, the accuracy of the quartz watch is higher, the Swiss standard is a monthly error of less than 15 seconds, and some accurate movements can reach an annual error of a few seconds. Generally speaking, the average daily error of a mechanical watch movement is normal within +-15 to 30 seconds.

    If you have any problems with your watch, you can get it to Guangcheng Watch Store on the first floor, No. 325 Beijing Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, and let the master help you test and repair it.

    The problem is very simple, go to the place where the watch is repaired and adjust it, and it will be good. The 40-second error is a big point, but it's not a problem, it's a lot of work for the watch repairer, I don't know if you are **, I'm a watch repairer.

    This is normal, but your table error is a bit large. Conventionally, mechanical watches have an error of about plus or minus 20 seconds per day, while quartz watches have an error of plus or minus 20 seconds per month. You can see the gap between this day and January between mechanical and quartz watches.

    If the error is large, go to the repair shop with a meter calibrator to correct it.

    The reason why the watch is inaccurate and has errors:

    1. Insufficient power reserve. You need to check whether the power is sufficient, if the amount of movement of the automatic mechanical watch is small, it may also cause insufficient power reserve, you can supplement the power by manual winding, and then observe whether there is a continuous phenomenon of speed and slowness, if there is still a suggestion to send it to the after-sales center for testing.

    2. The power is insufficient. If the quartz watch suddenly finds that it is slowing, it is likely to be caused by insufficient battery energy, and send the watch to the after-sales center to check the battery or replace the battery.

    3. Having been beaten or impacted. The watch is very tight, if it is hit or fallen, it may cause loose damage to the internal parts, and it may also cause time problems, it is recommended to go to the after-sales center for testing.

    4. Maintenance is required. The lack of oil in the movement or the wear and aging of the internal parts may cause time problems, which need to be serviced and sent to the after-sales center for maintenance services.

    5. The watch is magnetized: If the hairspring of the watch is magnetized, the watch will not be accurate.

    The influence of the wearer's usage habits may cause an increase in the time error. Sending it to the after-sales center for inspection and adjustment can restore the watch to the normal error range.

    First, pull out the crown so that all the hands of the watch stop and enter the "adjust time" state. At this point, adjust the time to 6 o'clock. This is done to avoid damaging the date module when adjusting the date of the week for a while.

    Second, push the crown back to the position of "Adjust Date and Day". At this point, the hands of the watch begin to rotate normally, and you don't pay attention to them.

    Third, adjust the date and the day before the day before the date you adjust the schedule. For example, today, Friday, the 29th, and you change the watch now, then move the week to Thursday and the date to the 28th.

    Fourth, pull out the crown again to the "adjust time" state when the hands stop, start to adjust the time, let the hands turn clockwise, then the action needs to be gentle, adjust the time until the hands indicate close to about 12 o'clock, and find that the date and day of the week jump to the next day (that is, the day of the watch), this jump may not occur when the hour hand passes 12 o'clock for the second time, it doesn't matter.

    The hands of the date jump indicator now start to indicate the time of day in the morning, if you happen to be adjusting the watch in the morning, then adjust the watch to the current exact time, then push the crown back completely, the watch hand turns normally, and the watch is finished.

    If you are adjusting the watch in the afternoon, then continue to adjust the time so that the hour hand passes through 12 o'clock again, (the date and day of the week will not be jumped, and the day of the adjustment will still be displayed) at this time the watch will indicate the afternoon time of the day you adjust the watch, then you continue to adjust the watch time to the current exact time, push the crown back completely, the watch hand rotates normally, and the watch is adjusted.

    How many years have you been wearing your watch? If it is less than five years, such a large error is definitely not normal!

    The screws with plus or minus signs are adjusted quickly or slowly.

    Manually wind the watch for 20 turns, if you don't turn it, find a professional watch repairer to help you solve it, but you are so bold that you ...... dismantle the watch yourself

    Quartz watch or mechanical watch?

    The latter one is the one that adjusts the time, yes, but it can only be fine-tuned. It is not a professional suggestion to send to the counter.

    In addition, there is so much difference every day, consider whether it is broken or magnetized?

    Abnormal. Mechanical watch is powered by the mainspring, relying on the balance wheel speed regulation system to control the operation of the watch, its timing accuracy is affected by many internal and external factors, for example, it is easily affected by temperature and humidity changes, the spring full or half string, external forces caused by swing, vibration, magnetism, etc., is caused by mechanical characteristics.

    In order to ensure the accuracy of the watch, the maintenance cycle of Citizen mechanical watches is generally about 2 years, and regular watch maintenance can ensure the sealing effect and waterproof performance of the watch.

    There are two ways to adjust:

    One: It is the daily correction of standard time.

    2. Open the back cover and adjust the frequency of the balance.
