Is your watch accurate to 20 seconds a year?

I can check, was accurate when I took it off in 1993.

My mother had me bring her Rolex in for a complete service. She complained that it didn't keep good time.
At 91 years old I had to remind her everyday that it was because it was self winding and she wasn't active enough to keep it going.

Could you get her a watch winder and would she use it for overnight?

It is super cool tech.

IMO the primary appeal of Grand Seiko is their very cool dials. The Spring Drive is a nice bonus.

You do have to love the ability to use NTP!

I go through all of the "free" NTP servers, and check my latency and jitter to them and then pick the 3 with the best jitter and lowest latency to sync to. Yeah, I'm a nerd.

Yeah, I want to get a new one, but my old one is still ticking along. I've got a Series 3 that I bought in 2018. It still works, and I use it all of the time for all sorts of stuff. I use the built in timers almost daily. Because I have and wear the watch, my phone is in silent (vibrate only) mode 99.99% of the time. I get alerts on it. I've used it for navigation purposes when wandering around unfamiliar cities. Etc...
