P.S.

accurate

When I said "precision" above, I meant precision in reading the dial, not the movement! Obviously G.O. kicks ass all over most other makers technically.

No, they literally don't exist. Along with a few minutes.

Am I missing something

Yes. It appears that the 15- and 45-second markers for the subdial are around where the 5- and 7-hours indexes (25- and 35-minute markers) would be, but they're not. They're somewhere around roughly 24 1/2 and 35 1/2 minutes and they completely obliterate the spacing of the minutes. It drives me batty when everything else about the watch is super precise.

Indexes are all marked around dial

Literally not the minute markers I mentioned though, right?

These are stunning BUT I feel like the lack of precision would drive me absolutely insane.

Honest question: how does it not annoy the everliving fuck out of you that you can't tell what time it is between xx:23–xx:26 xx:34–xx:37 of every hour? It seems so counterintuitive to me that the watch is made with such precision yet you can't simply tell what time it is when looking at it.

I really love a lot of what GO is doing. I wish this design didn't bug me so much.
