When Your Watch Second Hand Moves in Two-Second Intervals . . .

When your watch second hand moves in two-second intervals, it's a warning, not a flaw. As Jonny explains:

That's the watch's way of letting you know that its power reserve is low - it is an intentional design feature not a flaw. My solar Seiko SSC015 did that after I had it in a box - and away from light - for a few weeks. After letting it sit out for a few days it charged up fine.
