This is perfectly normal and you shouldn't worry.
The phenomenon is very common within the engineering world and is called backlash.
Indeed, your AlpinerX isn't a traditional mechanical timepiece.
When hands would be held back by a cog in a classic mechanical watch, as the AlpinerX is a connected device, your watch's hands are held by a micromotor behind the dial.
The latter being relatively heavy, a small gage can become visible and is necessary for the well-being of the operating movement.
Our tolerance is thus normal and standard compared to other connected watches and devices on the market.
