Abit off cosc standards.
If still under warranty can bring to service center for checkup.
Try leaving it up in face up position. Sometimes the position in which you place the watch when not wearing will cause deviance.
Or has it been recently subjected to shock or magnetic fields?

It is perfectly normal. A watch may sometimes run much faster or much slower from average rate for a day or two and then go back to average rate. If you find its running consistently much faster or slower than normal, you may send for check-up.
Also, some movement especially ETA will run not as fast when resting the watch crown up. E.g. +7s daily dial up and it will be +3s crown up.

A magnetized watch will run a lot more faster than that. anywhere from +1 min to +5 min a day. Also, I've been reading a lot about magnetism-phobia among watch lovers, but in reality, it takes a lot to magnetized it, like very close proximity to a speaker or a transformer.
In many cases, a watch caliber is calibrated before being cased to whatever factory setting the manufacturer has set. After which, it will being packaged, checked and transported and subject to whatever conditions before reaching the hands of the user. Don't be too alarmed if it is not running as per manufacturer specs, and yes, that's what warranty is for.
+7 secs a day is pretty normal and only requires regulation and should be a simple fix. It's really up to you but IMO, it's a minor issue and probably best to see if it may develop other problems along the way during the warranty period and sent it in for a more thorough service.

Thanks all sifus.....i think i will wait to c it will back to normal or not.....i also affraid that went into service center then become even worse....as u knw the service technician here might not as expert as in swiss punya rite

try position your watch in different orientation. some orientations,as mentioned, make the watch runs faster or slower.
you can never be so sure that your watch is not magnetized. I once sworn that my watch was not magnetized but I was wrong. I sent my watch to a watch maker to demagnetize and it went back to normal. never say never, "magnets" are everywhere nowadays.

I usually keep them away from the speakers or phones. Even avoiding answering the phone from the hand that had my watch on ;)
Magnet-free for long term

Y not just go to service center for a quick check?They should be able to tell you and had it fixed within a day if it's indeed runs faster.
