I have a question concerning the tmie accuracy of IW3231 (Calibre 80111).
After 3 years of wearing it runs about - 10 to -15 seconds per day.
Is it ok for such movement?
Am I right to expect better accuracy?
What should I do to receive better accuracy?
Regards
Chris

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the forum.Ideally, your watch should not loose time but can gain up to 7 seconds a day.
As your watch has sapphire crystals both back and front, it can be more susceptible to magnetism than a model with a solid back. It may just need to be demagnetised.
If this is not the cause, after 3 years of wearing and an unknown period in the shop's stock before purchase, it may need to be serviced to restore its original accuracy.
