: I have a Seamaster purchased new about 5 years

: replaced tha battery and the watch is
: keeping perfect time. Anyone else run into
: this problem?

I believe that this is the 'low battery indicator.' The second moves in 4 second increments because your battery needs a change. Even though the watch is still keeping perfect time, the battery will soon die. Replace it and see what happens!
