@NurseDave unofficial watch surgeon. What could go wrong? 
I don't know if I should respond with "That's funny!" or "Nerd."
Or Grandpa because I was around when the movie was released in theaters
Remember those?
I am so glad I climbed out of that rabbit hole still have all the tools the bench and everything but no more
We have a BST section you know
No I still dabble a little bit I just don’t have the patience I cannot tell you how many watches ended up smashed against the wall in frustration. You really need to be type B or C to do any type of horological work if you’re Type A you have lots of extra parts , and broken pieces. I spent too much money on all the tools To get rid of. I still change batteries tuneup my automatic movements but that’s about it

I think, unfortunately, that’s a pretty acceptable level of gain from what I’ve read in general. A lot depends on the movement quality.
Is it quartz or auto?
If quartz it should not exceed 5-10+- seconds a month on the high end the oscillator could use an adjustment or some voltage issues within the battery cell, try changing the battery.
If auto then 20-25 seconds a day but no more than 22-24 seconds in a two day period or the balance spring and wheel may be out of adjustment

It’s still quartz just a different type of oscillator
That’s an usual Watch - no hands and all wood
