10 seconds loss per 24 hours is a little high, however the watch is new and may settle in. In my experience though when a watch settles in (usually one to two months or a bit more) it tends to slow down slightly, which in you case will increase the problem.

You can probabably compensate for some of the loss by experimenting with overnight placement of the watch. This chronocentric website contains details on this. Once it has settled in, you can have the watch regulated if its still a problem, or if its brand new, perhaps your dealer will swap it for a new one now.

Generally,the watch should be in the range of +6 to -4 seconds per day.Keep in mind that the COSC tests are for the unmounted movement in several specific positions, amd does not necessarily indicate how the watch will behave in the real world.

Many, if not most, SMP owners report significantly better timing than the COSC standards. In my case, my 9 month old SMP was around 6 seconds fast when purchased. After around 3 months it settled in and continues to run 2.5 seconds fast/day if I wear it 24/7. If I place the watch crown right on my dresser over night, its almost dead on. I had reset my watch for day light savings time at the beginning of April. Over 6 weeks later, its only 2 seconds off when compared to www.time.gov. That's a 1/3 of a second per week.
