I have one and for the price it’s a great looking casual beater.
For those here thinking of buying... my peeve is I had 4 (3 gifts) and not one has the seconds and minutes line up... worse when seconds hit 30 the minute hand already is at the next number.
I’m in correspondence with Timex so will see if they at least trade me one decent QA’d one.
For the last point, surely you can just wait until the seconds hand is at the 12 O’Clock position, pull the crown all the way out to stop the watch, then turn the crown to adjust the minute hand so that it is at the exact minute marker, then push the crown to restart the seconds hand. I don’t own one, but looking at the manual you can do this. Also, you can for every analog quartz watch I own.
Unfortunately that does not work. The way the quartz watches tick is at set intervals.
Once it starts running it goes right back to the same behaviour.
It’s a quality control issue. Machine assembled quartz interestingly enough (from what I’ve read) have less issues - ie cheaper Casio’s are nicely aligned.
