How much is an Ω symbol really worth?

Update. Sent back for repair. Came back repaired after a month. Good service. Good communication. Now well within specs.
Nope 👎 it’s a new watch and never dropped. It’s the movement. Face up runs up to 60secs per day. Face down can be as low as 6-8 seconds. Other orientations in the low twenties to thirties. It’s going back for service under guarantee. Thanks for all your help!
Great idea. I tried this but no success. I am giving it a full week on wrist to see if it “settles”. But should not be an issue for a watch at this price point.
The conclusion seems to be that the $100-$300 watches are good value and good quality, perhaps hitting above their price range, but that straps, especially bracelets, are inconsistent. That is certainly my experience... although Pagani's have improved of late in my experience. Over $300 is a different matter. There is increasing competition for good quality and at that price the watch is no longer a "throw away". Personally I start to worry about guarantees at that price because of the cost/hassle/reliability or returns and repairs. I have had to return a Steinhart, Hamilton and Tudor over the last couple of years , and postage alone can cost over $70. Steinhart were the only ones to pay for postage under guarantee. I have no idea how that would work with a China return. Does anyone have experience of that?
