That can be annoying if really wanting pure precision, however that level of accuracy is good enough to be able to use as your timing instrument to navigate from London to Tasmania...and back...on a slow boat...without resetting it at any time during the 24 month round trip.

Also if it is always a consistent 5.5 sec/day off, that can be regulated pretty easily to under 1 sec per day by any decent watchmaker in the space of a few minutes.

Also keep in mind most of the electric gizmo quartzes seem to fall short of their manufacturer's stated accuracy. The mechanicals seem to at least meet the standards claimed. (My personal experience, others may vary).
