I'm an hour from the second 24 and it's now running eleven seconds
fast.
Subtract yesterday's eight seconds, that leaves four seconds gain for
this 24 hour period. Needless to say, I'm impressed...

AIUI, one mark of good quality design is consistency. So if your watch
settles out at 4 seconds fast per day from here on out, then that's
cool. But if it varies by 10 or more every day from now on then that is
not so good. Unless, of course, if over the span of weeks/months it
stayed within 15 seconds of the correct time at all times, then that
would be a good thing. Keep us informed, I'm very interested in the
performance of these watches.

Mine has gained about 2 minutes in 8 days. Just reset it now.
