My sarb035 which i bought a month or two ago with the same 6r15 movement has the same problem, gaining more than 1+ minutes a day. Not sure if it's a cause for concern too...

more than 1min per day seems unusual, my seiko monster gains around 10 seconds a day. is ur sarb035 still gaining more than 1 min per day after 1 month?

According to specifications, the 6R15 has a gain/loss daily rate of +25 –15 seconds. Let's hear it from more 6R15 owners to see if this is normal.

how many days have you wore it before noticing? Mine seems to be very close to my phone time which is sync to internet. You could let the power reserve wear out and either try winding or wearing again to see if it's the same.

either is hvnt settle down or your watch is magnetized accidentally along the way here, the latter is a more probable cause.

still, i believe a trip down k-2 will solve your problem.

just curious, do u all rly time the accuracy of ur watch to the second? not sure if im the only one lazy enuf not to do it...
