Is it supposed to do that?

Well I managed to give some
: of my other watches wrist time and when I
: went back to the SMP it was stopped. Ok, so
: I know they are supposed to stop after 40
: hours so. Mine went about 46'ish if my math
: was right. What was weird was the fact that
: the seconds hand stopped dead center of the
: minutes hand. I mean dead center. Hmmmm, so
: I shook it a few times and after it finally
: started moving it went a bit over an hour
: and stopped again, dead center of the
: minutes hand. I noticed this once before but
: thought it was coincidence. I have looked at
: other auto watches and I had a Breitling
: that stopped in random positions. It also
: seems to take a bit of shaking before mine
: starts again. Could this explain my time
: loss per day. I read others having 2 secs
: +/- per day and wonder. The watch is 6
: months old.
