No. Time moves differently depending on the perspective of the observer and what amount of gravity they’re experiencing. Jupiter is a really really big planet, so of you jumped on it you’d fall faster, and that gravity would also make time slightly slower, you wouldn’t notice anything but if you want back to earth your watch would be behind compared to one that stayed on earth while you were gone. If you jumped into a black hole and back out, you’d be years if not decades behind.
