Accuracy:

Miyota claims that the caliber 9100 offers accuracy of -10 ~ +30 seconds per day. This is measured within 10-60 minutes from a full wind via the crown. To fully wind the movement, turn the crown 40 times. The winding direction of the rotor is counterclockwise. A fully wound mainspring will give the watch about 40 hours of running time.

Replacement Prices:

Replacement prices were found online for $136.95.

My 9100 is by far the most accurate in my collection. Less than 2s per day.

I have 2 Android/Aragon watches with the Miyota 9100 movement. And I also have an accuracy of 2 secs per day, I take them off at nighttime leave dial up. Had them both for 7 years.

That’s nice to know Jack considering I’ve just bought an Aragon red dial. My Orient Mako III was gaining 1 sec/4 hours but made a compass needle go haywire, have just degaussed it so hopefully, no adjustment needed. I hope the Aragon has same accuracy as yours.

What is the meaning of “degaussed it” anyway? Thx

it means to demagnetize it is something that those of us from the 80s and early ninety’s also had to do to our 250 lb crt TV’s when color got messed up from us kids sticking magnets to the TVs to make rainbows PS my dad was pissed at me but luckily he had a friend that had a degausser for TV’s and promptly whooped my ass and then fixed his tv i never did it again

I have a Miyota cal 9100 in my Pierre Petit and it kept good time for about 6 months but then started gaining. Also, the rotor doesn’t wind up the movement anymore, I can only do it on the crown? The watch sometimes unwinds all power from the mainspring when I pull the crown out? So it needs a service! So some peculiar anomalies present with the movement in my Pierre Petit watch. I’ve just bought an Aragon 9100 online, hoping it will be fine, love all the complications in a divers watch plus got to love that power-reserve.

Just bought a Bulova 96C142 with the Miyota 9110. The accuracy is impressive for a watch that costs under €500 and comes with power reserve indicator, weekday and date display. In the 4 days I’ve been timing it, it’s only gained 5 seconds compared to the online atomic time reference (I use time.is). I found out that mine runs -15s/d slow if the power reserve is extremely low (less than 5 hours). With sufficient power reserve it loses about 2 seconds per day when worn, and if I leave it dial-up when I sleep it gains 5 seconds in 8… Read more »

Luke I was not going to comment but what you say is to a large degree correct. I am 70 now – From the age of 25 I always had an Omega. I loved the prestige of wearing mechanical on my wrist. I starting with seamaster in 85 speedmaster around 95 and another speedmaster in 2005. In between I always eventually changed to buying a seiko since non of these omega watches proved reliable – and certainly lack the accuracy one would expect from an omega and their price tag. So in 2010 I gave up Omega. Based on my… Read more »

Hey Joseph, judging by your surname I strongly suspect you hail from the same island as I do. I saw a 96C143 for sale at Sterling Jewellers for 600 euro back when I was looking for an engagement watch for myself (who knows, maybe the one you bought was the same model I saw? It was the only one in stock at the time). Bulova have three similar ones – 96C141 is white, 96C142 is blue, and 96C143 is grey. All with the Miyota 9110 movement. My 96C142 is still my best mechanical watch – and I’ve bought others since… Read more »

Luke what a coincidence LOL We say Malta is small. The whole world is getting smaller. Yes I bought it from Sterling – the only mechanical Bulova they had and it is the same one. I had offered around 500 (I think 480) and they agreed to sell. A day ago I said in my mail – at exactly 7.40.00 on my mobile – the Bulova read 7.38.55. I have just checked it today at 7.40 again and it was 7.39.02 Any way what I can say is that the variance the plus and the minus are cancelling themselves out… Read more »

I got a Villandry ACIER NOIR ET BLANC 85089_3A_F using the Miyota 9122. First couple weeks it was off by about +6 seconds a day. Since then it settled down to about 2 seconds a week. I guess there was a break-in period.. Only negative is I can sometimes feel the wheel spin.

Bulova lists a watch with the Miyota 9110, 26 jewel movement. Is this a similar movement of like quality as the 9100?

They’re all the same family. The 9100 has all the features. The 9110 just lacks the month indicator but keeps the power reserve indicator, 24h indicator, day ring and date display.
