I started timing my watch to www.time.gov.

I started almost one week ago, actually 6 days and 12 hours ago.

For the first few days, perfect time, to the second.

Then over the last few days, it lost a little time. Now it's about 3 seconds slow. I'm wondering if my behavior wearing it factored in. Some nights I sleep with it, some nights do not. Some days I am more active, some days not, etc.

Is this normal? What's the typical time difference over a week or month?

I have the Sub Date

If it is running slow and you take it off at night, place it face up. Do not place it so it is in a vertical position; that would cause it to lose time compared to the face up position.

Most Rolexes should be accurate to about 2-3 seconds per day.

The accuracy does depend on your usage of the watch.

IMO, I doubt that you would improve the accuracy that you have, more likely you will chase the positions and not get very far.

That is still extremely respectable variation from the referenced time.
The more active I am, the more variation I see.

Thanks for the info. I guess I should be happy.

If I'm reading this right it's lost 3 seconds in a week? And you're complaining? I'd be happy, I've never had an automatic quite that accurate. My most accurate watch is a Speedmaster which gains about .75 seconds a day on average.

My LV loses about 4 seconds a day, it's power reserve is not what it should be either, it's going in soon.

No issues with this, this is amazing accuracy.
