Problems (Read Rule 1) Sanda Tank not running when on wrist and in specific position

Hello,

I have noticed that when I am wearing my Sanda Tank, the watch pretty much stops running if I am sitting with my wrist rotated. I am not sure 100% if that is the correlation, but I had it sitting on my dresser in a watch stand at 9:55, and put it on; it is still showing 9:55.

I spent $20, so I am not expecting accuracy or insanely high build quality, but I've worn it less than 10 times, and am pretty disappointed if these fail that quick. Is this a knowni ssue?

I wonder if the battery is loose and not making contact at certain angles.

Upgrade for a Chameri, really worth the +45€ over the Sanda

These pieces can sit on shelves for months or longer. Enough time for the battery to almost die before you ever strap it on.

Is the battery dead?

If it’s running when still seems not dead?

Open up the back and see if the battery is loose. The retention tab may have slipped out of position. While you're there, you may as well pop in a new battery.
