I found a way to get my second hand ‘unstuck’. It would only wiggle when I pressed the button to show the charge. After replacing the capacitor and reassembling very carefully, I pulled out the crown halfway and turned it to advance the date by several days at once. The second hand started moving again right away. It was advancing a second at a time not two, so it had charge. When I checked the amount it showed almost full (new capacitor was already charged).

This watch does not have a battery, but has a capacitor which is rechargable. It is not taking a charge, and needs to be replaced. You should take it to a store with a watchmaker ON THE PREMISES. Or you could send it to: www.bscwatchrepair.com

Second hand could be stuck against the crystal inside or it is slipping on the shaft. Both of these conditions can be fixed but the case back would have to be removed and the movement removed to fix this problem

You have a bad capacitor. You can either try to repair this yourself with a special upgrade kit for about $20 (and maybe screw it up) or pay an expert who will do it right for $67.

For an extra $20 he'll do a pressure test on it to be sure it is water-proof but since this is a pro you really don't need to worry about it on a non dive watch.
