Sounds like it needed some regulation!
My first ever watch was a Seiko kinetic (I still have it safely stored away.) They are nice and keep perfect time. But I prefer the intricacies of automatic movements, even if they are relatively inexpensive like the Seiko 7S26 and require some regulation. I can get the 7S26 to get to +/- 10-15 seconds per day which is good for that movement.
I might source some parts later this year to build a watch with a Swiss ETA automatic movement.
