My #seiko #6m25 #watch is great but the seconds hand has been acting up.

It frequently gets out of sync with where the watch thinks it is and sometimes even stuck ticking back and forth in timer mode.

A year ago or so when I got it, it'd work absolutely fine and smooth.

I don't require it to be accurate but it sure is annoying and I'd like to fix it.

I did a reset procedure without removing the battery as it should still have a year left but no change.

Any ideas?

The battery is running low. It's trying to tick up but gravity is pulling it back down.

@janNatan

When it happens, it works regardless of orientation.

This is also only one of the pathologic behaviours the seconds hand exhibits.

As mentioned, the battery should have a year left still. (It was replaced last year.)

The watch is also supposed to tick in 2s steps when the watch detects a low battery and I haven't seen that happen yet.

Dude, replace the battery. I don't care how long it's supposed to last. If that doesn't work THEN you have a problem.
