Hello All,
I've noticed several Futurematics that have been on Ebay, mine included, where the dial/movement has rotated slightly (no more than 1-2 minute markers). Is this a function of:
1-there being a "bumper" movement
2-no winding stem thru the case body?
It seems to vary and/or correct itself during the day as I move.
OR- do I have situation that needs attention?
Thanks very much.
Craig

The case top is not snapping on to the case back tightly enough, so the watch is rotating on itself when you wear it. A common problem.

You'll need to take the movement out, and pry the case back rim out slightly with some round edge pliers to make it snap tighter. You may have to do it around the entire circumferance of the back.

We're only taking about a very small bend in each spot, so don't get carried away.
