This sounds like a typical indication that the battery is running low and should be replaced soon.

SOURCE: second hand doesn't move for each second

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.

SOURCE: Navy Seal Luminox watch second hand problem

It is a feature of this watch, it is referred to as the end of life (EOL) feature, it is a way of letting you know its time to change the battery before it dies to the point where it cannot keep time anymore

SOURCE: second hand skips

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.

I have Citizen Eco-Drive-Pilot Promaster-radio-controlled, shortly i noticed that the second doesnt move and allways stay in 12 Oclock position. Hakan
When was the last time you left the watch out to charge? EcoDrive watches are basically daylight powered. It can also use light bulb light to charge as well. My first suggestion would be to place it face up somewhere where it will get plenty of sunshine and leave it to recharge. It might take 3 or 4 days if it has gone totally flat but it will cost you nothing to do this. If this doesn't work I would recommend taking it to a good Citizen dealer and see if the watch can be serviced. If you have pulled the crown too hard you could have damaged inside the watch.
A built in feature on some Citizen watches is the '2 second tick'. If the charge is low the second hand will jump 2 seconds at a time instead of one. When recharged it goes back to normal.

I just bought a Gucci 8905 YA089303 and the second hand jumps about every 4 seconds. Is this fixable?
You are witnessing what is called the EOL or end of life indicator. Relax, it's your battery not you! Better watches have this feature. You will notice the time remains correct even if the seconds hand jumps 4 seconds. Some watches it is 2, some 3 seconds.

My Wittnauer is jumping every 5 seconds
Your watch is fitted with EOL feature and let you know about insufficient battery power by moving seconds hand by 2-5-second increments. You have about two weeks time to change the battery from the EOL engagement or your watch will start to malfunction or even stop. In this case you will have to reset your watch after battery replacement. EOL = End Of Life (relates to battery only). Jumping seconds hand means it's time to change battery.

I have a raymond weil watch and all of a sudden the second hand starts jumping about 4-5 seconds at a time. It apparently still keeps correct time. Do I need to have the battery changed?
Bad battery. It turns out the 5 second jumps by the second hand is an indicator that the battery is going bad.
Thanks

Second hand not sweeping but jumps at 5 secs intervals. Appears to be keeping accurate time.
When the second hand moves in short jumps rather than a smooth sweep or a second-by-second hop, it means that the battery is about to run out. Usually, with a week or two the watch will stop working altogether. You should go and have it changed as soon as possible.

Watch second hand
I had the same problem with my Tag. Same 4 second jump. It's definitely the battery. I'm surprised at only 3 months, but maybe it sat a while in the display case. Mine was over a year and a half.

The second hand of my Tissot watch T870/970 starts and stops.
Hello!
Absolutely astonished by this "solution" from escapement.
This watch is working perfectly - it is simply giving its "end of battery life warning".
