Hi,

I have had my tag watch for less than a year , I have noticed time delay twice already the recent one was yesterday and it was out of sync by 8mins, and I wear this watch all the time, is this normal?

Why does my automatic watch not keep accurate time?
The accuracy of TAG Heuer watches depends on several factors, including the type of movement and conditions of use. The following list shows TAG Heuer average tolerance given by the Swiss movement suppliers (based on normal conditions, and full power reserve for automatics):

Quartz movement: between -1 and +11 seconds per month
Standard automatic: between -5 and +20 seconds per day
Chronometer: between -4 and +6 seconds per day

A TAG Heuer watchmaker can carry out a maintenance service to adjust the timing rate of an automatic movement if it is performing outside these tolerances.

How many seconds/day?

If it is a significant change in time, your watch could have been magnetized. You can generally get it demagnetized by any good watch maker.

I think I have figured out the cause, I did put my phone and watch in the same locker, and on that same day I noticed the sync issue, on reading an article online it also states that mobile phone does affect automatic watches when placed together for a period of time. But it’s been fine since my first post. Thanks.

Almost everything nowadays are not watch friendly.
Apart from your handphones, i would recommend not to put your watch very near TV, Radio, Speaker, Laptop, etc for long period of time, just to be sure.
