The accuracy of time keeping

Decided to test the accuracy of my watch collection. Today I set all of my watches to an atomic clock. During the next 29 days I will see how each piece fairs. Each watch has been wound and will sit in a winder while not in use and will alternate daily. Included in this test will be ( in order from oldest to newest):

Rolex Submariner
Tag Carrera
Panerai Luminor
Rolex Daytona

I also threw my battery operated Omega Seamaster and girlfriends Datejust into the challenge. It will be interesting to see which watch holds the best time.

my uncle has some sort of G-shock that receives some sort of transmission from the main time keeping center in the USA that updated the watch ever 4 hours, i though that was pretty cool, it was also not expensive

Omega Seamaster
Tag Carrera
Sub
Datejust

I believe Daytona will be worst. It hasn't been keeping the best time which prompted me to conduct this test.
