I can't articulate why I like it, though, other than it feels kind of special to have and I enjoy just looking at it. Believe it or not, I've never even looked at a more expensive watch up close as none of my friends are watch people. The Seiko 5 is officially the best watch I've ever taken a good look at hah.
I had to adjust the time five minutes back the other day. It seems to gain about five minutes per week. Not sure if that's particularly bad or good, but it doesn't bother me. I almost appreciate that it needs a bit of babysitting. Gives me something to fata with.
I also like that I have to switch between my smart watch and this one. I wear my smart watch for my workout when I first get up, then put this one on after my shower. Makes me feel like a big shot to have two watches.

Nice! Congrats
As long as you like it, who cares. How's the clicking on the bezel? Satisfying or not really? It's definitely nice to have an automatic watch. It's not as accurate as quartz, but my wife says she loves watch the smooth motions of the second hand. And yeah, most online pics don't do the watches justice. This is why a lot of watch people will gravitate towards nice watches in real life and ask if they can take a closer look.
5 minutes a week seems way off. That's nearly a minute a day. A brand new automatic watch shouldn't be more than a few seconds +/- a day. You should go get it looked at and see if they can get it adjusted or if they will swap you for a new one.
