I haven't used my Gen 2 movement yet...

I have the 10th Anniversary Sketch with the Gen 2 movement, but mine is still sealed in the plastic wrap. I wonder if the Gen 2 would perform better. My Gen 1 constantly stops in the middle of the night - even after an active day with 18,000 steps. I consider it to be an automatic watch that requires some manual winding every morning to prevent a stoppage. Supposedly the Gen 2 winds much more consistently. And looking at the Gen 2 movement, it's not technically worse, the anglage is still all there, the sharp inside angles aren't the type that need a lot of hand finishing anyways (ultra thin movements have plates that are too thin to work with a lot of hand finishing), although aesthetically the black balance wheel and the lack of gold lettering is not my preferred choice.
