Working out slow speeds on M

I assume most M users are already doing this, but in order to regularly work out the rarely used slow speeds (1s, 1/2, etc. up to 1/15) on my M6, every time I load a film, I forward it up to frame "1" by releasing the shutter at those speeds only.

Actually a Leica repairman once told me that the best way to do this was with the camera empty (he suggested doing it while watching tv) shoot about 5-6 shots at every speed both ascending and descending, once each month.

No doubt a better piece of advice than mine. But we tend to be lazy about using the camera deliberately for THAT purpose. My hint is about opportunities occurring all the time.
