Thanks everyone for the helpful advice. So basically this is normal and I'll need to check my watch against time.gov every few weeks to make sure it's not wildly fast or slow (like it is now at 4 minutes slow) and reset the time as needed?
I usually just keep an eye on my auto watches compared to my cell phone (which is automatically coordinated to atomic time, so it’s just as accurate as time.gov). If I notice it’s more than a minute or two off, I adjust it.
If being accurate to the second is necessary for you, a radio-corrected or High Accuracy Quartz would be a good choice. Even the most accurate automatic watches will be off by a minute or two per month.
