High-accuracy quartz watches are a fantastic technology, using pre-aged crystals, sometimes higher frequencies, and thermo-compensation. The latter sets a timing bias for the integrated circuit in accordance to fluctuating temperatures. Whether the watch receives the warmth from your wrist or it lies at room temperature on table, it should remain accurate. So for those who purchase The Citizen Chronomaster high-accuracy Eco-Drive watches, it comes as a surprise when the manual suggests that achieving best results comes from wearing the watch 12 hours a day. That's a bold claim! Maybe it's bad communication, but the message isn't in agreement with how thermo-compensation is supposed to work. You shouldn't feel obligated to wear your watch for extended periods to enjoy a high level of accuracy from a watch.
