Hi all,

New here. I have a question about a newly purchased watch with a quartz movement. The watch has a Swiss Ronda Q Movement but seems to have a little play in the hands when the crown is pulled out and time is set. Not a lot but just seems the hour hand kinda moves in a strange sudden way. Is this normal? The watch is brand new and was shipped directly to me so I didn't have a chance to inspect it, well I do for 3 days. Crown also seems a bit loose when pulled out, almost like a very cheap watch.

Also the second hand does not line up with any of the second markers. Keeps good time so far but it kinda bothers me. I have had a Bulova for almost ten years now and its second hands still ticks and lines up with all the markers.

And lastly the bezel which rotates (kinda a Submariner Clone) is very tight to turn and does not center well on the clicks, sixty click style. I have to move the bezel back a bit to have it lined up correctly and its not supposed to move clockwise only counterclockwise.

Am I asking too much from a $300 watch or should it be returned to sender?

Thanks
