I own a number of quartz watches (10+). Having the second hand line up to the markers all the way around the dial isn't gonna happen on most quartz watches under $300. I have one Traser that is dead-on and a few others that hit their marks most of the way around. But, lots of watches (quartz) seem to only hit the marks half the time at best. At least that is my experience. :)
As for the stem being loose and the hands moving, none of mine exhibit that problem. Most likely it is a simple adjustment in the keyworks area or something akin to that. If it is real sloppy and it bugs you, send it back.
