So, my new Amphibia stopped while I was setting the time (possibly got over-wound) just minutes after taking it out of its box.
I was distraught and disappointed that after a month of waiting for it to arrive, and after reading so much about how these things are indestructible, that it could be so easily broken through normal use. I decided to take the case back off and see if I could see what the problem was. It wasn't immediately apparent to my untrained eye, so after tapping on it and shaking it around as suggested by friends, I decided to try nudging the balance to see if that would work. Lo and behold, that did the trick! It's back to ticking away, although it's running about 40 seconds fast at the moment.
I thought I'd share this pic of the movement, which is way more nicely finished than I would imagine a watch of this price to be.
