A "non" fully charged watch will sometimes "jump" seconds rather than indicate one second intervals. Charging these small solar panel watches takes forever, in BRIGHT sun. Have you tried leaving it outside, in the sunlight, for at least 12 hours?
SOURCE: second does not reset to 12
You should be able to solve this by pulling out the Crown(the one with which you set your normal clock), Pull it out in the 2nd stand.
Then by pushing the 'start/stop' button --> you change the minutes.
By pushing the 'lap/reset' button --> you change the seconds
It worked for me, took me a few minutes to figure it out, i hope this saves others the time of doing that :p

I had the same issue, and was able to reset it doing the following:
1. I let it recharge for at least a day in bright sunlight
2. I turned the selector to "CHR"
3. I pulled the crown all the way out.
4. I held both buttons down for 5 seconds (don't know if this was what did it.
5. I pushed the crown back in.
It did some funky hand movements stuff and then started off working.

Here is how to correct the 0 Position for your watch.
While your the crown of your watch is down in the starting position , turn the crown until the mode hand (this is the circle at the bottom of the face) reaches CHR
At this time now pull out the crown until it clicks two times, two the second setting of the crown.
This will bring the watch to the 0 position correction function.
you can turn the crown clock wise to correct the hour hand.
press the a button to switch hand to second, or press again to switch to minute. Then use crown again to correct 0 position.
The hour and the 24 hour hand is in conjunction with each other.
then push down the crown all the way in and you should be all set.
