It has a fairly basic ETA movement, not COSC certified, and I am definitely not gentle with it.

Try to get some objective data, even if it's crude testing, for your two watches. If it's more than ~10 seconds or so off a day, I'd get them checked out. A half to full minute off a day is pretty bad for higher end mechanicals, or TBH any modern mechanical watch worth wearing in my opinion.
Yea I thought it was a little bit too much. I guess it's good to see it's far from unusual. I'll do a more accurate test and make a determination.
