Are you asking what the term means?

A hacking movement is one that stops the second hand when you pull the crown to the time-setting position, so you can set it to the second. A non-hacking movement doesn't do this.

If you are asking which one to get, it depends on how you like to set your watches and if you are a stickler for accuracy. With a non hack it is difficult to set to the exact second. My Speedy Pro is a non hack but I can't think of anything I'll be doing where I can't be 2 or 3 seconds late or early. I am not obsessive about my watches accuracy so it doesn't bother me, personally.

Well the term hacking is a military term that was used when setting all watches against a single time source.Basically when you pull the crown out like others said it just stops the second hand for precise time setting.
