My Teric loses about 1s per day. That seems to be within the specs of 1 minute/month, but never the less, it is irritating. Several of my older computers are much better than that.

The Teric manual, p58, says:
The Teric uses a highly accurate quartz crystal for time keeping. Expected drift is about 1 minute per month. If you notice drift, it is easily corrected in the Settings > Watch menu.

Does this just mean to reset the time, or is there actually a drift correction I am missing?
 
better than the liquivision which would be off by a few minutes on a dive ... yet touted as having the most correct crystal for the timing circuits .... (once you calibrate it I assume)

No response from Shearwater?
 
I'll see what my puppy does over the next week.
 
I'm just under 0.5sec/day. Compared it to iMac clock. What did you use as a comparison base?
 
I'm 0.476 seconds/day
 
My comparison is to GPS satellite time.
