I bought my first “real” watch a few months ago and I love it, however it has lost a lot of time over the past month and I’m concerned it could be defective. I’m pretty new to watched so I don’t know if this is common/normal/acceptable, but my GMT has lost 4 minutes of time since I set the time over 30 days ago using time.gov as a baseline. During those 30 days it has never stopped and I manually wind it just about every night around the same time. Is this acceptable or should I send it back to Seiko for a new one? Thanks!
