My new Seiko 5 Sport loses about 5 seconds a day. Is this normal, can it be improved. How often do you guys adjust the time to set it right? (discuss.tchncs.de)

That's not bad at all. This level of watch should typically be +/- 15 seconds a day, so you're well within that.

Thanks. That’s good to know. I’ll have to remember to change the time every so often to make it accurate.

If I'm not mistaken, the way a spring drive works is that it's really just a quartz movement, but the power comes from the watch movement.
