Clock problems with table and shelf clocks

I love this clock. I saw it on The Price is Right and really liked the way it looked. It shows very accurate time. However, he suffers from problems. I ordered the original in autumn 2018. It worked almost perfectly for several months. Then one day I found half of one of the minute numbers lying on the floor next to my desk. The small tab on the side of the card which is the number hanger was broken on one side. It's impossible to fix. You should get a new number card. Since there are no children living in my house, I assumed this was just an accident. I wrote to the company via the Revain site to see if they have replacement numbers and they immediately sent me another watch (they responded very quickly). This watch arrived with several offset numbers in the box. None of them were broken, so I put the watch back together. The new one lasted about a month before dying completely. I thought the battery was dead, but it's not. At that point my warranty had expired. So I retired the original clock, took the card with a number from the new clock, installed it in the old clock and started using the old clock again. However, it keeps breaking tabs on the side of the numbers. Every 2-3 months it breaks and is thrown on the ground. I can't determine what breaks these numbers and they're not weak. I keep pulling numbers out of my dead replacement watch and pasting them into the original watch. Eventually I'll run out of numbers (or have a repeat break in numbers). Also, the hour side of the clock was always about 5 minutes behind. The hour changes approximately 55 minutes past the hour, not on the hour. So the clock shows the time every minute, for example 2:53, 2:54, 3:55, 3:56, 3:57, 3:58, 3:59, 3:00. The hour changes too early. I love clocks and they look very nice on my desk and keep time almost perfectly. But don't be surprised if you run into problems.
