    Miyota 9039 vs Seiko NH35 — a real-world accuracy comparison
    Data

    I've been tracking both movements daily for 6 months. NH35 averages +8 sec/day with 12 sec variation. The 9039 is at +3 sec/day with 5 sec variation. The 9039 also hacks and hand-winds smoother. For $20 more, it's the better choice.
