What's wrong with my watch? Need Help!!!

[Radiolite22]

Hi guys,

Took my Quartz watch out today and discovered the second hands is "Jumping" in intervals of 5 secs (meaning from 5 marker jump to 10 marker then 15 marker and so on,,,) instead of the normal per sec ticking... But overall still keeping good time dispite the jumping hand...

Anyone or any watch expert can advice me on what wrong with my watch? Issit due to weak battery or circuit board problem?

Anywhere I can do a quick check or servicing?

Should be running low on battery. Same as my Tag Heuer.....

Thanks bro... really hope it is not the circuit board prioblem. Will bring to do a battery change and see if the condition persist or not.

Usually a sign of a weak battery. Shouldn't be any big issue.

I have this problem when the batteries in my quartz watches are weak. After the replacement & everything will b running normally again.
