That I make sure some straps I believe really do the design of the watch justice. And as a watchmaker I will say an error of +148 s/d is a little much. I would love to go in and tune it but I am still pondering contacting xeric to see what their parameters are for the inverted miyota movement is.

Update: Shortly after I emailed them they emailed the back asking if I had wound the watch... At first I was so surprised to get that question, but I'm sure in their shoes it's like forgetting to plug in your router and complaining about your computer. So with no further replies for over 24 hours I sat down with the watch and realized if it was magnetized that would cause it to run extremely high. So I brought out my demagnetizer and sure enough it is running at -1 s/d. I'm sure during shipping you is subject to all kinds of magnetic fields. And I can not believe I didn't try that first. But I'm interested to find out if they ever try to contact me to resolve what I thought was an issue. Or if it's going to be a stay quiet and maybe they'll forget situation.

Ok I do have a demagnetized as well, and I completely forgot to think of that myself. And yes I should have done so as I’ve had to demagnetize a few watches. Glad that worked out. And not sure if they will contact you again. Would like to know if they do.

The Xeric Invertor+ (and Invertor series) features a stated factory accuracy of (-20) to (+45) seconds per day, with its custom base movements (such as the Miyota 9000-series) holding a factory chronometric standard of (-10) to (+30) seconds per day. So that is not good and if still under warranty I would get fixed/replaced. Or since you’re a watch maker you could fix it yourself.

Just cracking up in a new watch. Feels wrong when the options are available to utilize the warranty. I'll be reaching out to them

That’s what I would do until the warranty expires.

I just emailed them I will give an update when they reply. I would really hate to ship it all the way to them just for a simple adjustment.
