Maybe I'm doing this wrong

I am finally able to view watch videos and not order what I just saw.

Of course it can. Twice as expensive doesn't mean something is twice as good. It doesn't matter what product you're talking about.
Origin uses a Sea-Gull movement (on their lower priced watches) that they say they regulate to +/- 12 seconds.
The only Hellcat watch I found was a licensed watch for the Dodge Hellcat. When you look at their other watches they all seem to be quartz watches. Not sure how much they know about building a mechanical watch. I also not find any info on the movement they used.
I'm leery of these apps as they are using microphones not designed for the purpose.
I'd set the watches to the exact time and track them over a day & then a week.
True, it does take a day or a week, but I'd trust that more than these apps

It's an Erebus Origin, which uses an NH35
The Orion Hellcat uses a Miyota 9000 series movement.

Okay, that good info to know, it wasn't in your OP.
That still doesn't change what I said before about the price.
Erebus may take more time putting their watches together and do a better job at timing them.
I do know a little about how you feel about the Orion though. The Miyota 9 series is supposed to be "premium" movement and you; and me, both expect more from a "premium" movement. I recently bought a Ridge Field watch that has a Miyota 9039 movement in it. Mine wasn't running as fast as yours is; only about 22 seconds, I wasn't happy with it. Since it was in a watch that only cost $275; and was still in spec, I wasn't too upset. I just took mine to my LWM and paid him $5 to set it up better.
Now, if yours is running 37 seconds fast, that is out of specs for the Miyota 9 series movement. I would take it to your LWM and have him put it on his timegrapher. If it comes back running over 30 seconds fast you have two options. Get in touch with Orion and see how good their warranty is, or pay the LWM to adjust the timing.
Good luck with whatever you do.
Okay, I just watched this video from the YouTuber that started Erebus and it's pretty cool. And, if they time every watch like they did in the video, you have your answer about their watches.

I was amazed how good it was. I can't wait to see what else they have after sleeve. They admittedly went with a safe option the first time around. They might have crashed and burned otherwise. I hope they come up with something along the lines of a dress watch this next time. I'm incredibly pleased with it. It's the best bracelet I've had on any watch. It rivals that of my Hellcat as well.
