Had mine for a couple of months - been on my wrist 'most every day.
First couple of weeks it was virtually spot on, losing about 2 secs a week.
Now it seems to have settled down to consistently gain about 15 secs a week.
I've stopped messing around trying to keep the second hand spot on, but I reset the minute hand whenever I catch the time signal on the radio every week or so.
I took it off for a day and it lost some time, but keep it fully wound and it seems fine.
More than satisfied with the timekeeping and very much enjoying wearing it.

I've had mine for a couple of weeks and it loses a minute a week, or about nine seconds a day. Is it common for them to get faster after a few months?First couple of weeks it was virtually spot on, losing about 2 secs a week.

It's not my most accurate watch but it's definitely my favourite!
I synchnonised mine against the BBC time signal 2 weeks ago.
It's now 11 seconds slow having been on my wrist continuously.
Over the 2 weeks it's gone from a couple of seconds fast in the first 2 days to 30 seconds slow a week ago and then back to where it is now, so it's not as if its consistently slow and I don't think regulating it would impove things.
Not too bad for a 100 quid automatic me thinks.

I dont know if my skx009 can be classed as a monster but it loses a few mins a month, but it is my daily bruiser so not to botherd.
Does it make any difference if the face is left facing up or down at night? i know some watches speed up or slow down depending on the postion you leave them.
