Is my watch running properly?

Hi! Recently got a new gmt master II. When I look at my watch running, there seems to be some slight mismatch of the hands. For example, the minute hand lands right on the top of the minute mark when the second hand is on around 35 seconds. By the time the second hand is up at the 12 mark, the minute hand is already half way past the minute mark. Is this normal? Thanks!!

Sounds normal to me but I’m in Oz.

It seems to be moving half a minute in about 30 seconds?

I’ll ask my wife…….


She said that sounds about right?

What are you expecting?

When the second hand reaches 12, pull out the crown to set the time and realign the minute hand. All good.
