I got the Seiko SPB143 recently with the 6R35 movement, but it’s losing like at least 10-15 seconds per day. I know it’s technically within spec but not happy with the accuracy. Is it pretty easy to regulate these movements myself? Anyone done this?

Also they get more accurate the more you wear them? I hear Seiko are inaccurate if in one position but become more accurate if worn all day.

So the 6R35 is widely reported to need a few months to break in. I’d wait a couple months and see if it settles in any closer.

If not, and if it’s running consistently a touch slow, regulating is simple (which is not quite the same thing as easy). You open the caseback and move the regulating arm. In this photo, it’s the one with the little gold nubbin. I usually use a wooden stick, and in this case you’d have to push it a bit to the left based on picture orientation. It’s finicky and delicate, so I’m not saying it’s easy necessarily, but it’s quite straightforward. Make small adjustments, time the movement and see how you do.

You may have better luck, if it’s consistently just a touch slow, simply laying the watch down for the night differently. If you’re laying it on its side (most people do) try laying it flat with the dial facing up. That could easily get you a few seconds per day.

Thank you P1! This is super helpful. If the time doesn’t improve in the next month I may give this a try. Sounds straightforward enough but looks like I’ve got to make very tiny adjustments. How does one also account for positional variance when trying to regulate using this nubbin?

How are you going to regulate the movement by yourself? Bring it in if you’re unhappy with it

Haha — I’m here 😁
