Yes there is a 70 hour power reserve, but a mechanical watch isn't intended to be worn every few days. It performs optimally and consistently if worn every day.
Dual barrels would only improve the time keeping if a watch was sitting over at least 12 hours. The second barrel doesn’t start releasing until the first is almost unwound.

Oh so a watch can pass from being plus to minus “second per day” depending on power reserve?!
Didn’t know that. I thought it either go fast or slow.
Good to know, this explains why my SD43 passed from being plus 2 sec to now - 0.5.
It’s getting no more than 10 hours of wrist time per day. That explains everything now.
