Keep in mind this is a purely mechanical mechanism where inaccuracies could and should be expected.
I am a little confused. Were you worried that it happened 6 seconds after midnight?
That’s very precise in the mechanical world.
Expecting it to change each day according to you iPhone is a little out of range for many reasons.
Your watch is either gaining or losing at least 2 seconds daily minimum.
Your iPhone, should be exact. Every day.
If you took a reading on Monday and it was 6 seconds slow, by next Monday it could be much slower or much quicker, according to you iPhone.

Didn’t realise this thread was still getting replies. I think the question’s been answered above but it wasn’t 6 seconds - I had wondered why the watch was exactly 6 minutes “late” changing every night. Six minutes past midnight on the dot every night.
Thank you all for the replies.
