heh heh.
my question was innocent.

so that i may have an idea, of how often i will have to re-adjust it, should i decide to acquire and use one..
as you guys know, i'm an MD. and if i don't re-adjust my watch, and C4U is in the waiting room...
hey! it's true. the folks i have to work with... they're sticklers for punctuality. some of them actually walk out if the other person is late by 10 minutes.
heh heh heh.
i don't know which word is better for watch evaluation, precise or accurate.
unlike the typical examples used to explain the difference between precision and accuracy, time-keeping error in watches, is cumulative.
