I usually set my vehicle clock ahead too be early to places. I used to set it areas 5 mins but in a few weeks it’d be 7-8 minutes ahead.

So, presuming your watch is functioning correctly, this is likely being caused by the clock/radio losing power, which in turn causes it to lose its ability to keep the time until it gets enough power to turn back on.
I’ve had this a lot with my truck because I was being stubborn about changing out the battery and instead just kept jumping it. And every time that I couldn’t get enough juice to start the truck, all my electronics would be off. My odometer would reset and my time would be off by however long it sat between the next jump and whenever it lost power.
So you may want to check your battery and see if its adequately charged (or if its just time to get it replaced). To my knowledge most clock/radios draw a small amount of charge from your battery to keep time accurately, so if the battery doesn’t have enough to even start the truck that may be the culprit.
And as an aside, I also would not be surprised if this could also be caused by the clock/radio just being old.
