My Aquaracer second hand problem

The second hand moves in steps of 3-5 seconds but the watch still keeps accurate time. I don't wear the watch all that often. Please help.

This is most likely the "battery change indicated" feature of your watch.  Change the battery, and see if the problem goes away.  If it does not, then it could be a problem with the stepper motor, which will require a watchmaker.  Of course all of this is dependent on the assumption that your watch has a quartz movement.  If it is an automatic, or mechanical you have bigger problems.

How to reset the chrono function of a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre S CAF7113.FT8010 after a battery change

Pull the crown out to the first position, and then you may find that successive pushes of the upper pushbutton will move one of the chrono hands by one division, and the lower pushbutton will move a different chrono hand. Similarly if you pull the crown out to the second position, the pushbuttons will control the other chrono hands. In this way you can set each of the chrono hands to their zero positions. Hope this works..

I dropped my aquaracer watch on the ground from 2 feet high. hour and minute hands not moving but the second hands working fine. please help!

You need to go to a watchmaker. Sorry, I am good but not good enough to diagnose the damage without seeing the watch. In any case you can't fix yourself unless you are a watchmaker.

My watch is keeping accurate time. The send hand holds for 3-4 seconds then moves the like amount. In other words, instead of moving every second it goes in 4 seconds at a time

It is called the "eol" or "end of life indicator" Not yours! Your battery. Notice the time is still correct. This is a feature some better watches have to tell you your battery is about to go dead.

The movement on the second hand is jumping every 5 seconds instead of every second, however the time is still correct.

Many high end quartz watches have a feature called the EOL or end of life indicator. This causes the seconds hand to jump 2, 3 or 5 seconds depending on the make of watch when the battery life is low. The watch will continue to keep accurate time until the battery dies completely. So, when you see your seconds hand jumping multiple seconds it is time to get a battery.

Watch second had is not consistant on how the second hand moves - it still keeps good time is that a low battery issue

If you second hand is ticking in stutter steps, in other words it hesitates 2-3 seconds then quickly steps forward, and your watch is still keeping correct time that is an EOL (end of life) feature...your cell has become very low and it's the watchs way of telling you to replace the battery. Good luck :)

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.

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.

Do not forget to rate, please.

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.
