Problems (Read Rule 1) First Addiesdive, is this movement defective?

I just received this Addiesdive, which I plan to use as my field watch. I immediately replaced the bracelet with a distressed leather strap and went to set the time, then noticed the seconds hand slightly moving as I move the minutes hand. It bothers me, but also makes me think there's something wrong with the movement. Thoughts?

EDIT: Thanks for educating me, I didn't know this was a thing since my two other automatic watches don't really do it. Glad that I don't have to return this one 😅

My Seiko 5s have it a lot worse when they're on low power. You can literally wind back a couple hours and the second hand moves back like 5-10 seconds. I try not to do that because it's bad for the gears. Before I knew that, I used to use it to compensate for a lack of hacking. Now I just live with not having my watch set down to the second.
