The Citizen A060 automatic hand correction

Does anyone have experience with this automatic hand correction?
If you set time and the minute hand is slightly off – let’s say 1/6 minute – when does the correction take place?

I thought the movement controls the hand alignment 1.440 times a day, so every minute. Slightly missetting my minute hand by purpose didn’t show a result in a whole 24 hours.
Calling for the reference position showed the misalignment before and after this 24 hours and it could also be seen unaligned the whole time…

2nd Annual WatchUSeek HAQ Florida Get Together held Sat., May 24, 2025

OK, it was really just @Mandaue and I getting together for lunch while he was visiting Florida and we were within reasonable driving distance of each other. We met the same place that we did in February of 2024, but with a vastly expanded agenda.

This year we came prepared, both bringing gear to let us do some experiments and hopefully learn some things. We knew we’d need the…

Seiko 38SQ (1974) Accuracy Report

Going on 13 days, this watch has kept time within a second. Not bad for an early 51 year old Quartz watch with analog TC.

My experience of owning the new Omega Quartz Regatta

First post, hopefully a useful one. I posted on the Omega Forums my experiences of the new Omega Regatta quartz. I REALLY like it. Not a watch for everyone, but I have tried various x-33’s Aerospace, B50 and B55, and a number of high end G-Shocks and I think this is more impressive than any of them. I was going to post anything I find about the watch as I get used to it, but I figured it might be of interest here as well. But the key bits of what I posted in that long thread are below (I…

HAQ Performance from Non-HAQ Movement?

I have an Addiesdive Explorer homage with a Seiko VH31 movement. On a whim, I decided to track the accuracy bs atomic clock using a start date of 2-10-25. As of 5-10-25, it was 1 second behind.

Perhaps I am oversimplifying, but that seems to suggest…

Latest Longines Conquest VHP – fixing improper date display

I debated adding this to the end of the Longines VHP Hand Alignment Question thread but felt that it might be easier to find for whomever might need it in the future, realizing that future person might even be me.
