I have a few watches and the most accurate of them all is my Omega followed by a close second the Rolex.

My Omega with caliber 9300 is 0 - 0.5 secs a day, and I kid you not!

Updated as at 29th May 2018, my Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 is slowing at an average of -3 seconds per 24 hours. I think i shall just accept it as it is quite accurate for non-COSC certified watch :)

-3s is very good bro, its within accuracy of COSC certified watches. Good to hear its back to its performance.

Just to update, after 20 days of wearing the watch, it is my first time experiencing the watch running fast by +1 sec per 24 hours. For the past 19 days it has been slowing averagely -3 seconds per day.

Just out of sudden, my watch has been slowing 6 seconds per 24 hours now, while it was actually holding up well (-1 sec per 24 hours) for quite around few weeks.  :o

You may need to wind up the watch full again. Accuracy can be off when power reserve is almost gone.

Normally how long is the power reserve for Oris watches? Mine sometimes can't last for 24 hours also

Sounds like your watch is not fully wound. Some watches have very efficient winding mechanism, some does not.

I would suggest fully wound your watch (by turning the crown until you feel resistance) then see if it last longer than 24. Your Oris most probably houses a modified ETA that has a reserve of 42 hours.

My 40+ year old Seiko 5 is clocking in at an average of +12.4 secs per day...

Did you service it before?? Maybe it will perform better after a thorough service
