What is likely happening is you are confusing yourself with your measurements.

Mechanical watches vary in their daily performance--usually based on wind, use and position factors. So measuring the +/- per day needs to be done as an average over an entire week or more. If you are measuring it each day, you will likely get diverse and confusing results.

Your watch is not that delicate and you have no need to treat it with fear that you might do something that will mess it up or throw it off.
