Bezel question for those with a skydweller

Just got mine today, figured out how to set everything, my question is do yours have “play” for lack of a better term in the bezel. Meaning if the watch is on your wrist and you press down on the edge of the bezel it moves? Hopefully I’m explaining that correctly, I assume because the bezel twists it has to be some what floating.

Yes its normal. Its a ring command bezel so it has to have some play otherwise it wouldnt work.

Yup, it moves. I think the term is "spring loaded",

Why would they make the bezel move? What is the point of this?

The bezel rotates to different positions to set the different complications (calendar, gmt function, date) because of that the bezel has some play when you press on it. I wanted to make sure that was normal since I’m new to this model.
