As for data repetitiveness, you can find the reason by clicking here to know how does it happens.

As for minor time deviation, it is because the collecting time (of an Argos device) is a relative time with an accuracy of 1 minute. When a piece of data is transmitted for the second time, there will be a time deviation within 1 minute. It is not an error, and you can choose either one piece of the data.
