Need some watch help.
on: November 24, 2015, 09:51:08 PM
I decided to wear my old Seiko today and noticed that instead of its normal one tick per second it is ticking twice quickly then pausing, ticking twice quickly then pausing, ect, ect. I have no idea why it would be doing this. I just synced it to my G-Shock to see how well it keeps time. After the first 5 minutes it might have lost 1 second. I will check it in a few hours. Any idea why it is doing this?

If it's quartz it's probably the low battery indicator.
