I have a Seiko Arctura Kinetic Auto Relay that i have not worn in a long time, when i bought the watch i use to be able to pick it up and the hour and minute hand would go around and pick back up on the correct time which it does not do that anymore, I noticed that its not holding time very good and the second hand moves 2 seconds instead of one. I am also having trouble finding links for the band because its to tight now.

U don’t need to call no one or go to anyone to fix it u can do it by ur self
Only thing u need to do is to shake ur watch about 200 times and battery will come back and it will start working normal
Get that watch in ur hand buddy and just keep shaking for about 30 min and it will work perfectly fine

It is likely that the watch has simply run very low on power through not being worn at all. The movement will sleep if unused but does require wrist movement to recharge it eventually. It is also possible that the capacitor may need changing depending on its age but first try wearing it for a few weeks and you may find its absolutely fine once it has regained some charge.

Here is the information from the website. The link to the manual is provided below. HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH Swing the watch from side to side approximately 50 times. * Before swinging the watch, check and remember where the minute hand is so that you can tell if the start-up indicator has worked or not. First, check that the crown is at the normal position. * If the crown is pulled out and the watch is swung, the start-up indicator will not work even if the watch starts operating. * Swing rhythmically at a rate of twice a second. * No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor. * When the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to drive the mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out a sound, which is not a malfunction. 1 2 The minute hand moves quickly and stops as the watch starts operating. (Start-up indicator) Then, it will move at 20-second intervals. 3 After checking that the minute hand has done this, pull out the crown to set the time. 4 After pushing back the crown in to the normal position, swing the watch further approximately 350 times to reserve one day of power, and then, put the watch on your wrist. http://www.seikowatches.com/support/ib/pdf/1m20_e.pdf Good luck, Techjoel

SOURCE: watch will not stay running

Most likely time to replace the capacitor with a new Lithium Ion battery. This is the correct way to fix this problem. No one uses the old capacitors any more. I do this repair daily as a Certified Master Horologist/watch repair man. Ron at TimelyWatchRepair.com

SOURCE: How much is the capacitor problem in Seiko SNL001

Can be fixed in less than one week and cost is less than $80. See web site for Timelywatch repar.com. They guarantee their work. And yes, the old capacitors are only good for 3-4 years. All replacements are now with a much better, long lasting Lithium Ion battery.

It is unlikely that the capacitor will have any charge on it so you should shake it gently to charge it up. You certainly can't do any harm by charging it, even if the capacitor did have any charge.

I have a sportura when i dont wear it the time stops but the alarm clock keeps correct time had battey checked it is fine

I have a Seiko arctura and it stops after three days if it is not used. This is done to preseve the life of the battery.

When I pick it up and shake it gently for a few seconds, it returns to the correct time.

I think it is likely that you should do the same.

It is possible that the second hand is touching the crystal. However, this probably would have only happened if for some reason you remove the movement from the case and in putting it back in it now touches the crystal. If this is not the case, then I am assuming that you have pushed the crown all the way in. Please let me know if any of this works for you. I don't know of any reason that replacing the capacitor would only affect the second hand.

My Kinetic watch stopped working.

I highly suspect and probably you also suspect that the energy storage capacitor needs to be replaced. My experience in working on these is that they are only good for about 3-4 years. I only replace with a new Seiko Lithum Ion battery. Check www.timelywatchrepair.com
