It actually took me some time to accept that when people said a watch was "fast" that it was really shorthand for the watch being ahead at the moment. Just seemed wrong. Especially because my motivation for setting my cheap timex 5 minutes ahead was because it was in fact slow, and I wanted a safety margin as it fell behind.
