If I would guess, I would say that it is less of a problem with a new watch and it has most likely already settled when being tested and regulated at the factory.
I have to thank TRF members. My new BLNR Batman was losing more than four seconds a day when I first got it. I was advised to wear it and let it settle in before worrying about any adjustments...they were exactly right. It's now spookily settled down to gaining less than a second a day...consistently. I couldn't be happier, and, in spite of anyone who says there is no 'settling in' period, it's worth doing.
