Second Hand is Skipping in 3-5 second Intervals (Quartz Watches) This is the low-battery indicator. Bring your watch to your authorized dealer or a trusted, competent watchmaker. Ask that the battery be changed, the current consumption (how much electricity the watch needs to run) checked, and the watch resealed for water-resistance. My watch battery was changed less than one year ago, why has it stopped? First, make sure that the stem and crown are pushed in the watch. If the stem and crown are in the setting position, most quartz watches have a “hack” mechanism that will stop the watch. If the stem and crown are in the proper position and is still not working, then your watch is in need of service. Bring it to an authorized dealer or competent watchmaker for evaluation. Moisture/Condensation are Visible Inside the “Water- Resistant” Watch. Your watch has a leak. At some point the integrity of the seal has been compromised. Bring your watch to your authorized dealer or competent watchmaker immediately. The water must be removed professionally and the watch most likely will need service. Water inside of a watch can cause severe damage almost immediately. The date is changing at noon instead of at midnight. If your watch has a date function, it will advance one day every 24 hours. If the date is changing at noon, the watch is 12 hours off. Advance the hour and minutes hand to the actual time, and set the date. It should now advance properly at midnight.
