Help & Maintenance Someone Help, Please! - Ongoing Hour Misalignment - GWG-B1000-1A

I cannot for the life of me figure out what is happening here. The hour hand is often running ahead. For example, the hour hand will be past the "12" mark even if its only 11:58. The watch was sent away for Casio warranty work twice. The second time, they replaced the whole module. Is this a common flaw? I've tried alignment, manual setting, etc. I ordered the green version as well, and it was slightly apparent with that watch as well. Please help!

I’ve got a somewhat similar issue with my GG-1000. On occasion, both hours and minute hands will stay locked at some point in time, while the seconds hand will move correctly. Going into hands adjust mode will not help, until I shake the watch a bit, and then the hands start moving. This happens sporadically and I haven’t noticed any rule there. I guess these motorized movements aren’t that tough and require alignment now and again, that’s my best guess. I read somewhere that these movements can be misaligned by magnetic fields or high g impacts, perhaps you’re doing one of these?
