    Hello Gary – please could you say what make and model were the three watches you used for your experiment? I tried but failed to find the photo you posted.
     
    On this subject – before reading about Gary’s experiment I was thinking recently of doing something similar myself with a few Casio F-91W watches. I then remembered I had an old one buried somewhere and finding it it turned out to be a predecessor – a Casio F-84W which I bought in England in 1988. Unlike the F-91W which is given a place of honour on the Internet, there is hardly a mention of the F-84W and most of it is in Japanese. Anyone familiar with Casio quartz watch history? Was it a model not widely available in the west?
     
    In any case I loaded it, and also a fairly new and much more expensive Timex Expedition i-Control watch which I also have, with new CR2016  batteries last night and set them to precise UTC. The Timex is already a second out this morning whilst the little old Casio is still smack on. I will follow the two during the next weeks and months and report.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
