and my second thought is that I have put it here because once the question is answer
I can see it going of on to some wild tangent in to the realms of what'a time and is time relative haha and what better place then here to have the thread

Moved to Central - it's a watch thread, afterall 
Depends, I guess: if it is losing 5 minutes per day then you set it 5 minutes fast and it'll be on time on day 1 then 5 minutes slow again on day 2. So regulate it until it's back on and you'll be fine.
What is time? Indeed. This year is a leap second year so...

so basic it's down to how fast the balance wheel spins so for example it spin at say a half a minute not the regulated minute it will always lose time so time has nothing to do with it it's all down to speed and the regulator and it regulating it..... hence it's name
hmmm simple when you say it that way or is it .......

If it's fast or slow you should be able to regulate it to correct that. Then you have positional variance...

true I had one were it would run slow if left lying on it's back .. fast if you left it on it's front but... put it on a stand worked fine but it was over 50 years old so think it's allowed to get a bit stroppy haha

Let it break in for awhile, so to speak, to settle.

I tend to find that if I haven't worn a watch for a while then it tends to run slow for a while.
I set it to the right time every hour or so and then it will settle down to running fairly accurately.
In other words, let it settle down before adjusting it as you may be worrying unnecessarily.
