Disappointed in my SBGX059

Last time I wore it, it was accurate to 1 second of Time.IS; after letting it sit a couple of months it was off by a full 24 hours and 1 second. Terrible!!!

When you picked it up after several months, how long was it running when you measured it?

I really like the size, weight, and accuracy of it (even if it lost 24 hours since mid November), What is the strap?

When I looked at your pic, didn’t realize it is a quartz watch. In fact, I was unaware that any GS watches had quartz movements, shows what I know.

Not only is a quartz but it’s likely the most advanced quartz movement made; mine's been accurate to less than one second over the past six months. It’s quite amazing!!

You sold it with knowing it had a problem.

I would be flustered. Such unreliability!
