Hi Mark,
It appears to be a battery problem. Have you changed the battery recently? How have you checked the battery? I suggest you check the battery's voltage, even if it is a new, replaced battery.
You need to be sure the battery is not the problem before looking elsewhere.
Need more detail if this does not help, including the model of watch. Also how long has this problem existed, and when did you notice a change - was there a specific time/event?

Yes it's the battery. Please make sure to take it to someone QUALIFIED This watch requires that all the gaskets be replaced and pressure tested at the time you have the battery replaced

SOURCE: How do I get my Timex WR50M watch out of the 24 hour (military) time and back to a 12 hour clock?

Hold down the adjust button bottom right then press the mode button top left you will notice the a or p that stands for am/pm will disappear & reappear. If you have an a or p on your display then you are out of military time.

SOURCE: Watch tick much faster

You have to clean hairspring. Unless the hairspring is spotless, there is no way the watch will keep time. Make sure hairspring coils are even and not touching. Rate me, please.

I have a two year old timex indigo which the green light feature no longer works. The stem no longer presses down. Any suggestions will be appretiated.

Hello Pat Trevino,

My best suggestion is to send (or take) your watch
to your NEAREST TIMEX authorized service center.
(see Returns below: Contacts: address & phones)

The FIRST watch I ever bought for myself is the TIMEX Automatic... Still keeps good time after 51+ years
(certainly better than I do)...

Since then I have gathered a few more watches,
chronometers & chronographs.

Timex Ironman Run Trainer 1.0 won't charge

Just fixed mine. While plugged in, depress all the buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. It should turn on and show that it is charging. The ticking will stop as well.

Timex electric watc will only tick for few seconds when shaken

Battery watches don't normally restart with a shake unless the warmth of you hand has squeezed a little more of a reaction out of the cell. Are you absolutely sure its electric? they don't normally tick as such. If you turn the winder when pushed in is ther resistance one way and clicking ratchet the other? if so you have a mechanical watch if not you probably have a battery watch that needs a new battery.

I replaced the battery in my watch. About a week later, it started getting slow. I watched it and noticed that it would tick for 2 seconds then stop for a second, tick for 2 seconds then stop for a second,...

It sounds like one of the hands is pausing as it brushes against something. It sounds like a treasured watch. I would take it to a professional watch repair shop. Mine was losing a minute or two per hour from the hand being slightly bent. Good luck!
