Owners report the ETA 2824-2 movement's winding can feel stiffer than some competitors, and one owner noted a reversing wheel issue where the rotor spun when winding the crown, a problem also experienced by another owner after a fall. Service intervals for the ETA 2824-2 are a point of discussion, with some suggesting it can exceed recommended intervals while others note servicing costs. Overall, owners find the Whitby Watch Co. Avro Pilot (ETA 2824) to be a watch where the movement's serviceability and potential issues are a consideration at its price point.
