Received this watch from Intime on June 6.

Running ok, made it through shipping. The bracelet needs extra links for my wrist size, so i ordered them. I haven't worn the watch. Stilling waiting for the links.

Today, I decide to wind the watch and set the time etc.
I set the GMT hand to +5 hrs from local EDST.
After an hour or so, I noticed that the GMT hand wasn't keeping in sync with the hour hand as I had set up previously. That's not right. What's going on here.
First issue.

Second issue

Within 5 min of setting the watch, it stopped running completely. What the heck happened. Dead.

I've sent a message out to Intime and expect that I can have it sent back to a Chinese factory for repair at my expense.

Anyone on here had any experience sending a watch back to China for repair. Is this the best option for me.
More perilous but less expensive than having it repaired locally for sure.

Also, any known issues with the VR3285 movement.

Thanks
