    In practice you would keep an eye on that rate and then adjust the
    recorded time before sight reduction.  If you use a form for manual
    sight reduction it should have a field for this time adjustment: +/-

    Thanks for this info.  Its useful to be able to forget the watch is
    there and hop in the water with it.
