This is one of the first cool watches I ever got. I have not been wearing it in a long time, but it is start to change that. It is a Kinetic watch meaning a kind of a hybrid between automatic and battery.
The capacitor might need changing...

I noticed the seconds hand moves two seconds at a time. After digging into this, I learned this is how thatch indicates that the capacitor (to not be confused with a watch battery) is low on power. Now I need to wear it more and see if it recharges fully or if I have to get this capacitor/battery changed. Time will tell.
Capacitor is back on!

Good news before the end of the year. After wearing the watch a lot for a couple days or so, the seconds hand started working normally. This means the watch is working correctly.
