I stuck a battery powered watch in my safe a couple months back and just pulled it back out to find that it’s running about two minutes behind true Atomic time. I figure that the only thing the watch is supposed to do is know exactly how long a second is, but it’s now off by more than 100 seconds.
So my question is, does dark and cold temperatures make the Watch run slower? How does that work?

I assume your watch is electronic and not mechanic, even something similar is going on with a mechanic watch.
All electronic changes value and how it behaves, dependent of temperature and a watch has to be very precise, so every component and their values is selected and calibrated, so the watch is most accurate at the normal temperature it gets to, while on your arm. When the watch is in your drawer or some place with less heat, does the 10 deg in différance, mean that the electronic components are not working under the optimal temperature and therefor is less accurate.
