Actually it was not I that was wrong, but you,Stuiartj. It is a Chronometer that is tested and certified by the relevant Swiss authority, not a chronograph. A Chronograph is a watch with at minimum an interval timing function with no guarantee whatsover of accuracy. As it is, a Chronometer can lose its accuracy over time, and will then need servicing. Anyway, if you want real accuracy buy a $25 quartz watch, but before doping so ask yourself why you need to run your life to an accuracy of 1-2 seconds a day!
You will be wearing the watch, so be please with its appearance otherwise you won't enjoy it.
Theree are lots of watches on the market,about 150 Swiss brands alone I believe( some initiated by Americans actually, such as IWC) so maybe some more research is needed before splashing the cash.
