I know it is no big deal but I don't want to know my watch is not telling the correct time, when it can be regulated to more precisely. Its like wearing a fake watch you know it is not the real macoy.
I think you need to get a quartz watch.

You will not get that level of consistent precision even with the highest grade mechanical watch - that's simply the nature of the beast and you either have to get used to it or go quartz, which is consistently far more accurate over a longer period of time. I know which I would prefer
