No not quite so north northeast , east riding of Yorkshire. -
Teesside. You live up here too? Yeah by the looks of it the 700, 710 and 720 all use the same parts. I've dismantled the electronic side of the movement and inspected the circuitry. All looks fine, no signs of moisture or corrosion. I've left it disassembled and in the sun now that it's come out! Hopefully any moisture inside the analog block will evaporate as I really don't want to strip that down.

Definitely send it back! I'd guess there is an improperly fitted or adjusted friction spring on the seconds hand drive, a similar principle to those common on centre seconds pinions. Engaging the mechanism presumably puts more load on the gear train and damps it down. I had the same jumping seconds hand effect with a sprained centre seconds spring; they damp the hand movement and prevent it jumping or flopping around within the mechanical backlash of the gear train.
