NFS Heat CRAZY Cops

I came back to NFS heat after a 2-year-long break (my depression is over), and I do love it. However, the cop chases are crazy at night.

Now, I do like the idea that it shouldn't be easy to escape - it's realistic. But I am driving a sports car, with the turbo on, and the cop just hits me from behind while the turbo is on!! WTF? Another one just blinks next to me and hits me from the side. I am driving a road car on a road, a good one, and the turbo is on, but cops are like, "I am coming". This feels a bit too much, in an unrealistic way. Practically, it's impossible to break free after lvl 3 heat. Even if you escape, they start chasing you again in 0.32 seconds.

Also, I still can't find a way to customize my car; it wants to download some app using some QR code, WHAT? 🥸

To say my [SSK003] is pure love would be an understatement, but...

This is my second "adult" watch and I really love it. This is also my first bracelet watch and first GMT watch.I have feelings towards this one like a never had before. This is MY watch.

There is one issue tho, that I am not sure how to address: the GMT arrow doesn't perfectly align the hour marks (last 2 pics). I couldn't send the video in the OP, but here is how the GMT works here: the GMT hand here jumps to the corresponding hour-lag spots when you try to manually adjust it. But whenI try try to adjust time, there is a little movement near a specific hours spot, before the jump is made. So the movement isn't really free, and it isn't also strictly pinned to the hour-long steps (that correspond to the hour-lags of current stance of the main hands) - it has limited free movement window and a jump, which is weird and causes misalignments.

This results in a non-perfect alignment, which is visible when i put the hands on the 00 minutes marks. I eventually was able the align the GMT hand using the small free movement around the hour mark (before the jump), but I don't think that should be the way in an ideal world.

​

I wonder if this behavior is ok for the model, or is it a flaw of my particular watch? I also bought this piece a but cheaper than on the European market (390 USD), so it adds a layer of doubts for me. I ordered it online but the vendor seemed to be a trusted watch seller (although you never know).

​

Can you please tell me whether that GMT arrow (miss)alignment and the free movement window is normal or not? (I will try to attach the video in the replies). I want to keep this watch so hard actually..

​

Thank you.

Got [SSK003]. Brand new 380$, Looks great...but...

I payed 380$ to the local market place (I live in Czechia) and the vendor is from Poland.

I am a bit upset tho (and this might be irrelevant to most of you) because my GMT doesn't work properly: it lags behind significantly and when I try to adjust it the hand doesn't slide fluently: it has a no movement zone and then jumps (effectively, there are 2 spots per hour). So, I will perhaps send it back as its under the warranty (bought 3 days ago).
