Sounds like the watch might have taken a hard jar, maybe it was dropped...
and now the second hand has lost it's "grip". If you are comfortable with taking the movement out and you happen to know how. Great
otherwise, take it to an authorized dealer and they will use a pin vise
to clamp the opening down and downsize the opening in the end of the second hand shaft that goes on the sweep second pinion .
There is the possibility that it is something else, but this is the most likely.
If your watch is solar powered the second hand performs this characteristic when it's in need of a charge. Try placing your time piece under a bright light for short time or in direct sunlight and see if this helps you with your problem.
It's broken. Mine is doing the same thing. Others online have experienced the same defect. I bought mine from woot.com in July and just gave it to my son for Christmas. Check the Seiko website and send it in for repair. It has a 3 yr warranty.
The hands of an analog watch are often only press-fitted on the shafts (hour and minutes are tubular, seconds solid shaft) and the second hand has probably only slipped so it is no longer being driven.
I suspect a watch-maker could reattach it for a small charge.
Without knowing the model of the watch i would say you need a new battery. It is typical for this style of watch to have two batteries or one lithium battery. In either case the analog movement will drain faster than the digital portion of the watch and will stop working first.
As it turned out these Mossimo ANA/DIGI watches use two different batteries, one for the digital part (big) and other for the analog mechanism (small).
Have the watch serviced to change the second battery and VOILA!!!!
This problem may be due to your analog hands being improperly zeroed. To find out, try this:
1. Put the watch in chronograph mode by rotating the crowon in its normal position to "chr"
2. Pull out the crown two clicks. This should cause all of the hands to point to zero. If you do this and your minute hand points to 1 o'clock, or five minutes, you will know that this is the problem.
If this is the problem, you can can correct it by zeroing the hands as follows:
1. Put the watch in chronograph mode by rotating the crowon in its normal position to "chr"
2. Pull out the crown two clicks. This should cause all of the hands to point to zero, or close to it. You should also notice the letters "HR" in the lefthand digital display. This allows you to move the hour hand by rotating the crown. If the hour hand is not pointing at 12 o'clock, rotate it so that it does.
3. Push the top button once. The letters "MIN" should appear in the lefthand digital display. This allows you to move the minute hand on the large dial, and the minute and hour hands on the small UTC dial. Rotate the crown so that the minute hand points directly to 12 o'clock.
4. Push the top button again. The letters "SEC" should appear in the lefthand digital display. Rotate the crown to point the second hand directly at 12 o'clock.
5. Push the crown back into its normal position. Set the digiatl time and date in your tie zone, and your analog hands should match the digital read-out.
If the zeroing of the hands is not the problem, I don't know what is wrong with the watch.
