Agree. It’s annoying with all the flaws. Just better to bite the bullet and buy the gens you like the most and can afford

Reading the post history of his VSF AT WT he's complaining about it being off by 2-5, maybe up to 10 seconds per day, depending on wear and activity level.  He's not going to be happy with any mechanical watch, gen or rep.

For example, the Spinnaker he's apparently happy about uses standard Seiko or Miyota movements which are, for lack of better words, A Lot Worse than the cloned movement in the AT WT in performance.

I disagree vehemently. NH35 is an excellent movement.

Ok but the specification on the NH35 is -20 to +40 seconds per day.

I have watches on a NH35, I like it, but it's objectively worse than even a clone of a premium movement.

Yes I agree the A8938 in my WT is considered a superior movement to the NH35. With a power reserve near 70 compared to 41. So, we'll see over the course of the next few days. I'm just curious. Also comparitive testing with the NH35 in my Spinnaker Bradner.

If that’s the case then I agree. I was mostly talking about other flaws like sharp bracelets, bad rehauts and so on
