   You're missing the point. A watch in 2025 should be able to be accurate to   
   within a second and not drift within 24 hrs. Especially one so   
   technologically advanced as a smartwatch.   
      
   That it is drifting is sloppy design and lack of attention to detail.   
      
   A half decent analogue watch is better than that.
