I have a watch with that movement. And it’s been surprisingly really good. It’s kept great time despite being worn as a daily beater by my brother.
Keep in mind there’s no water resistance.
Thank you! I take into account the 'no water'
One thing that bothers me about the design also bothered me after I purchased my very first self-winder, a flieger from Parnis's sister brand Corgeut. It's the length of the hands - too short, especially the hour hand. The old Luftwaffe design of a type B placed the hours on the inner ring of the dial, letting the hour hand trace that ring. This works beautifully, but Parnis/Corgeut needlessly messed with this, and this hour hand misses the marks. [BTW on my Corgeut the hour hand is too long.]
Why did I buy that Corgeut then? Because I didn't pay enough attention to the images of the listing - I only noticed the thing when I put it on my wrist.
In general terms of time readability this is not a big deal. But when you know the original design and its rationale then you cannot unsee it. One can play with some of the other design elements (like Hamilton and IWC do to add day/date or lume), but the fundamentals of the design should be sacrosanct.
