Accuracy of X-33

I've recently purchased a second hand X-33 from http://www.watchseller.com

I am concerned about it's accuracy: If I wear it 24x7 it looses 0.5sec/day e.g 15sec/month equivalent. However, if left off-wrist the deviation from real-time is too small to be measured, over a 5 day period. So to get accuracy on this watch it seems I cannot wear it!
Q1) What accuracies have other X-33 owners had from their watches if worn 24x7?
Q2) Any suggestions so I can wear this brilliant watch but without loosing accuracy?

Replies appreciated, as this is driving me crazy - especially after spending $1500+ on a quartz watch that is loosing 0.5sec/day on wrist.
