Skips time every 5 seconds it would skip the second and move to the next second. For example when it gets to 5 seconds the seconds hand would skip 5 and move onto 6 seconds. Any solutions??

a mechanical part needs replacing, unless your have some form of funky split time running? replacing the battery should have reset it though.

Sorry...

New or not SWISS use the second hand as an early indicator of the battery state.

My memory is that it starts by skipping seconds...
Then the second hand stops...
Then the watch...

ELSE
The movement is bad.

If it is INDEED NEW... Take it back & get
yourself a fresh one.

I have owned this exact clock for 30 years. Syncing the chimes with the time is very simple.

1. Flip the second switch from "Start" to "Set."

2. Use the thumbwheel to move the hands to the desired time.

3. Use the four "H" and "M" buttons to set the time for the chime.
— For example, if the desired time is 12:05, press the first button 1 time, the second button 2 times, skip the third button for 0, and then press the fourth button 5 times.
— If the desired time is 9:00, you only need to press the second button 9 times (all unpressed buttons default to 0).

4. When you're ready for the clock to begin using the time you've set, flip the switch from "Set" to "Start."

That's it! It's that easy.

This is the indication that the battery is getting low and should be replaced as soon as possible.

For sure you know EcoDrive watches are powered by light and all advertisements says: you will never have to change the battery. That's right - you will never have to change the battery, because there is no battery as we know. In your watch you have CAPACITOR, and it is the cell (sort of battery), recharging itself from the light consuming plate underneath the dial. Capacitor is not timeless, so, you have to replace it anyway. Find your nearest watch repair shop and ask for replacement.

This is warning: it's time to change the battery. Your watch is fitted with EOL (end of life) feature and this is how the low battery power is displayed. However, the watch will keep running correctly for about two weeks.

Rate me, please.

This could be that the battery is slow. Newer swiss watches have a indicator in the movement of the watch that makes the sweep second hand skip every few seconds to indicate that the battery is slow. On regular japan made watches the watch just simply starts slowing down. Your watch could be new but the battery in it could have a long shelf life.

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
