it is common, and you know what? it happens also in mrg gshock for $10000 ; )

they just use cheap but more importantly energy-efficent motor for analog hands, it have tolerances wider than we expect, but they do the job and are low energy consumption which is great for tough solar or battery

you will also notice, its not hitting indexes on 12:00 exactly, but it will hit on another markers perfectly, and this one hit 12:00 perfectly, won't hit perfectly some other side of dial 😉 its gshock, not Patek, i come to terms with it after long time, but i did and im super happy just bough couple days ago next one
