I replaced both batteries. the background will flash it has a college emblem in background, but the hands wont move. second hand wont move.

I found a way to get my second hand ‘unstuck’. It would only wiggle when I pressed the button to show the charge. After replacing the capacitor and reassembling very carefully, I pulled out the crown halfway and turned it to advance the date by several days at once. The second hand started moving again right away. It was advancing a second at a time not two, so it had charge. When I checked the amount it showed almost full (new capacitor was already charged).

That specific watch has a quartz movement, and it does not have a sweeping hand that moves to count the seconds. If the hour and minute hands are not moving there is a possibiliy that the battery has died. If after the battery is replaced and the hands still do not move then it's an issue with the quartz movement.

Hello, a week ago the small second hand (not long chrono second hand) got stucked and my irony swatch just stop moving. Although the chronometer could be running if started... The small hand just didn't move.
I tried different tricks, like removing battery, pull out main wheel and use chrono buttons to reset arms. Etc.
Today I noticed that when turning the wheel backwards a couple of times (one or two hours back) the little hand moved one second back... Pushing wheel back to On possition made the small hand move forward one second and get stucked again.
Then I did this procedure a couple of times, at some point I turned the wheel back for a while (may be 5 full turns) and noticed the small hand moved more than one second (5, 10, 15 seconds backward)... when I noticed it was moving freely I pushed wheel to on position and noticed the small second hand was running normal.. I hope it works for some of you. Greettings from Canada

your watch has two batteries inside, the small battery is the one that had to be replaced. it is under the big battery, the small battery makes the minute and hour hand move while the big battery makes the seconds flashing. i hope that i had been helped you.

Change battery. Watch can be brand new, but battery is fitted when watch left production line.

MY SECOND HAND WONT MOVE ON MY ESQ WATCH

Your TAG is fitted with EOL (end of life) feature. This is the cause of that 4 seconds interval movement of seconds hand and thus indicating the time for battery replacement. The timekeeping is not affected by this- it is just warning to replace battery a.s.a.p.
Find your nearest watchmaker and ask for battery replacement.
