Why is the second hand on my quartz watch skipping every 4 seconds?

This is a deliberate feature called the End-of-Life (EOL) indicator, found in high-quality Swiss quartz movements. It signals that the battery is nearing the end of its life and needs to be replaced soon. Your watch will continue to keep accurate time, but you should visit a professional watchmaker to have the battery changed within the next few weeks.
