I have a Science thingy due tomorrow and only one of my teachers questions make no sense! I THINK that's what he meant. This is what he originally said: quot; Where dose the rock crop out?quot; I chose Quartz for my rock. So can you help me please? Thank you ^.^
Aside from the fact that finding parts for a quartz watch that old will be practically impossible, a minute a month really isn't much of a problem: it's only two seconds per day. Some quartz watches have trimmers so that the rate can be adjusted. If your watch has one, and you're willing to pay someone who has a quartz watch analyzer to tweak it, go ahead. >> There is NO way to accurately adjust a quartz watch without the aid of the proper type of test equipment. DON'T try to do it yourself. Period. You'll probably be better off financially if you either live with the watch as it is or replace it. If you insist on extreme accuracy, get a radio controlled watch. There are many of them on the market. >> I bought a Seiko 5H23 8A09 on June 14, 1989; it's been on my wrist almost continuously since then. When I first got it, it gained about two seconds a week. Now it gains between 4.5 and 5 seconds per week. I normally set it to the second every Sunday with the aid of a shortwave radio tuned to WWV.
