The quartz Aqua Terra also has this problem. The first one I had always stopped in between the markers. Got another a few years later, and this one is almost perfect when second hand clicks to the next marker. I think the movement # is 1538. They both had very good accurcy, gained 3 sec a month. It's a common problem with the hands, and if you're willing to look around a lot, you can find a good one.
To be honest, never could get used to on one that was off on the line up. Frank
