Purely theorizing, I'd say...
In Response To: addition to above post ()

that if happens a week after you set it, the watch may be gradually winding down from only being worn every other day. If you wind it when you set it but not on the other days, that would seem to add credence to my guesswork, but there may very well be other explainations.

My Seamonster runs about -5 to -6 seconds daily if I run the chrono a lot. It may also be that in addition to wearing it only every other day, you occasionally leave it sit on Sub day with the Chrono running.

A third, composite theory is that Seamonsters in general tend to run a little slow and that their chrono function slows them down and draws on the reserves moreso that is the case with other 7750 based chronos. Why this would be, I have no theory.

I'm curious to see if this happens if you wear the Seamonster every day for a week or so. Don't worry, the Sub won't get jealous!
