I received DM 500 today, and I noticed its second hand feebles when it goes. at 45''~50'' See my video.
Is it ok? Is it movement problem?

JasonLLhad to watch the video several times to see what you are talking about but I do see it. Looks like two or three teeth on the gear that drives the second hand may be not perfectly meshed at 45 and 46 second marks. There might also be a dampening system that prevents overshoot of the second hand, and it might not be as tight at at those couple seconds. I doubt this is a problem that will affect the life or accuracy of the movement. I would give the watch a couple smacks on my palm face down to make sure that hands are not loose (to the point where they will fall off with this kind of bumping force) and if everything looks and runs fine, I would probably just leave it alone and chalk it up to a quirk of your particular watch--kind of makes it interesting and unique and something only you will notice. or if it bothers you enough, contact massdrop. Looks good on the zulu or nato you have.

JasonLLjust checked my watch today--same thing as yours, just a slight wobble of the second hand at some points between 45 and 55. really hard to see and nothing that bothers me. The watch is holding up great--ion plated coating is tough and shinny and the bezel ring is nice and tight--never rotating unintentionally which is a major annoyance for me on other dive watches.
