New Constellation Mini Losing Time

I have a new Constellation Mini (less than a week old) which loses 5 minutes time exactly. When I bought it it was 5 minutes slow so I reset it when I got home. Over the next 24 hours it lost 5 minutes time again. So I reset it and a day later the same thing. I have done this 4 times now and it slowly loses time up to 5 minutes and then doesn't lose any more time. As the time showing when I bought the watch was 5 minutes slow it was obviously doing this in the showroom too.

I bought it from a very reputable jeweller so there's no problem returning it but I can't get back to them for another two weeks and in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is 'normal' and the watch will settle down to keeping correct time soon or do I have a psycho watch that needs replacing.

Thanks
Anna
