I would first check to make sure it wasn’t magnetized. I bought a very expensive Oris watch and it was running -1hr per day. I ended up buying an inexpensive demagnetizer and trying it and sure enough that was the problem. After demagnetizing it, it ran at about-8sec a day. Later I learned you can take a traditional compass and hold it near a watch and if moves slightly the watch may have some level of magnetism.
A compass won't tell you anything.
