Tip & How-To about Seiko Kinetic watch

Common reason for Capacitor failure in Seiko Kinetic









Sometimes a Seiko Kinetic will run well but then stop unexpectedly.
Loosen the right "wing" of the capacitor, and check to see if the tiny gold tab it must rest on is positioned correctly.
If the tip of the right hand wing is not pointed at and touching that tab,
the current will not flow and the watch will not run.
The othen wing has a small square hole in the black plastic (shown as the
point of the rightward arrow), which aids in fixing the conductor in exactly the right position.
If the leftward wing has dislodged it is possible the right wing is pulled from its
contact with that little gold colored tab. (Pointed at by the downward Arrow)

can't get the back on

Set the watch face down on a soft cloth and place the case back on the watch. Line the small indent up on the case back with the indent in the side of the watch, and push down on the case back with both thumbs with even pressure. The cover should snap back into place.

how to open the back

1

Determine the type of case back on the watch. Set the watch face down on a soft surface and look at the back. If it has slots, it is defined as a screw-back case. If it is smooth, it is defined as a snap-back case.
2

To open a screw-back watch, use the metal blade of a standard screwdriver to turn the slots counterclockwise. A case-back wrench, which can be purchased at watch-repair stores, can also be used. Set the metal tips of the wrench into the back's slots and turn it counterclockwise to open.
3

For a snap back case, place the metal blade of a standard screwdriver in the indent between the watch and the case. Gently apply pressure to lift the case up and off of the watch.
4

Close the case back by setting it back onto the watch. For snap-back cases, line up the indent on the side of the watch and press gently on the case back to close. For screw-back cases, use the screwdriver blade or case-back wrench to turn the slots clockwise, thereby closing the case shut.
