Your movement is obviously magentized or defective (the spec sheet offers accuracy between -10 to +30s/day). The Miyota 9000 series is a high quality movement in this price range and competes easily against the swiss sw200.
Totally agree - sounds like a case of a defective movement & you should return it whilst it's still under warranty. The Miyota movement they're using is relatively high spec & not really of the throw away variety... sounds like you've just been unlucky.
Off by several minutes? Fashion watch? I’ve never heard of several minutes for the miyota 9000 series movement. I have several. It’s by definition not a fashion watch.
Check out the listed specs on this movement and get back to me. Hey, I bought the watch so I’m glad you like it. It’s a cool and stylish timepiece that’s got a fun vintage vibe. Okay, it’s not a fashion watch. But…I’m not buying it and expecting say an entry level Sinn or something in that price range (Longines, Tissot, etc.). Thats a different neighborhood and my expectations are naturally higher and this ain’t that.
About the timekeeping, it really is bad luck. I've had several miyotas like this and they all were spot on. It must be a lemon. Return it. (That miyota movement is comparable to Seiko 6r15 and usually estimated as more reliable).
Spec is -10 to + 30 on this series of movements. So a few minutes off every week is not a biggie. To be fair I wasn’t expecting it to be much better, but wanted to make sure folks don’t expect accurate timekeeping. The watch is great other than that.
Several minutes for a miyota in such a short time means it's either defective or magnetized. Miyota movements rival Sellita movements in accuracy. I have a few that gain no more than a few seconds a day.
Thanks for this eye-opener. I was going to fall for the design. Several minutes per day off is way too much for me. I would pay double the price if it had a good movement.
It’s cheap enough to not be a major issue though. I think I paid $500 for this and while that’s not insignificant, it’s not much in the world of watches. That’s a single bracelet link for some watch brands. If you like the design then I’d say go for it. Even though it’s a cheap movement the quality of the design and the well made case make up for it.
Beautiful watch. Sounds like your Astra may be magnetized - that Miyota 9015 is a great movement; reliable with very respectable accuracy for its class. Maybe get the thing checked out and you’ll be in good shape.
It’s “settled down” actually. After a few more days it’s off by just a minute. I think the resting position makes a difference. That and regular wear as opposed to sporadic.

Can confirm that. My Lorier Watch keeps the time well.

Beautiful! Thank you for the review and the good close ups! Eagerly waiting on the shipping of mine
Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the info! After 4 days it’s 2 minutes fast. Not terrible I guess.
Could even be magnetised from shipping, because those miyota 9000s are definitely not "disposable" movements and should be operating within spec

@@soundsoserious But you can expect accurate time if it's not a lemon.
Mine is coming tomorrow. Can't wait to see what is hype about it.
Enjoy! It’s a nice watch.

Awesome! Check out some of my other vids too! 👍🏽
Thanks a lot for the Video. I pre ordered just 3 weeks ago and its already in shipment ! Cant wait to get it. I got the cosmic blue version though ;)
Congrats! I’d love to see that one at some point! Great watch.

The movement os actually quite good as it is a mixota 9000 series they mostly do like +-20s a day
Yeah that’s about right. It’s about 40 second range give or take.
Miyota 9 series is a well respected performance movement, it should run really well. Return yours.
It’s “settled down” actually. After a few more days it’s off by just a minute. I think the resting position makes a difference. That and regular wear as opposed to sporadic.
I got mine and it's running +1s a day. Even 1 minute is way off the norm for this movement..
Whoa lucky movement! The specs for these movements is a 40 second spread…so it’s not exactly a chronometer spec. Glad you got a good one! 👌🏼
Time peices not for keeping time?. Yes, time is important. Yes, you should wear a good watch to keep track of time well.
How I can I order it from Hong Kong ?
Not sure, do they ship there?
@@soundsoserious i don't know how to do
invest in a timegrapher, very easy to regulate this movement.
I’ll look into it! 👌🏼
He should invest in a demagnetizer instead.
I got mine last week and have to say it is keeping excellent time at 3-4secs+/day
@@tennistron588I’m jealous!
