It's a gear issue.
Fakey, brilliant deduction... Are we to assume that you have experienced this issue yourself? And if you have, can you be a little more specific as to what the issue was with the gears (which ones).
Thanks,

PS: OP, Im glad it has worked itself out... BUT, dont take too long to decide if it needs to be returned and DONT wear the watch. If the problem should re-arise after awhile, you may not be able to return it.
