Moonwatch Chrono running by itself...

I've noticed my chronograph running by itself about 7 times since I've had it (August 2018), including twice today. When I say running by itself I mean I looked at the watch & the chrono was running when I had not set it going. It's probably not possessed, so there's bound to be a rational explanation right?
Most likely it's been set off by me putting a hand in my pocket or something I assume but it always seems to take a firm press to set the chrono off, how easy is it to inadvertently trigger the chrono function?
@Archer or other experienced posters, have you come across this before?

Thanks,

It probably is possessed, and the problem with that is, it will eventually take hold of you. The warning signs, which can be subtle at first:

1) Head spinning, 180 degrees

2) incessant foul language

3) intractable vomiting with a substance that resembles pea soup

Should you note any of these symptoms, please call your primary care doctor, a priest, or proceed to the nearest psych ward. In the interim, sprinkle the watch with holy water, but only if all gaskets and seals have been checked.

Point 2 is already well advanced...

I’ve certainly possessed Speedmasters, but never had any that were possessed.

I dont know how easy Speedies are to trigger, but I have a new (2018) MIDO chrono that feels like it needs a firm press to actually get going, yet I've caught it a few times where I look at the watch and its been running the timer. I assume its possible to press the button while doing things and get it going. Never though anything much of it.
