I was given this watch for my high school graduation in ‘97. Still running strong today.

I just completed this repair on the same watch only in gold tone. Turned out perfectly, runs like a brand new watch again and the previous owner never wore it so it's pristine! I stole it! 39.99!,🤘

Watched a couple of times, ordered a kit for opening back and dealing with tiny screws, also ordered the battery number shown in this video. Install took me about an hour probably due to my rather advanced age (72). After those anxious minutes putting those three tiny screws back in place my watch is running perfectly again after about a twenty year hiatus. Thanks for the video Lenny. If you are all thumbs you should probably find someone else to do this for you.

You don't have to wait until the seconds hand reaches the 12.The old capacitor that came with that watch held more than a 7 day charge.New lithium-ion replacement for that watch gives it a 6 month charge.

I have the same watch I bought new in 1999, I'm sure some folks won't believe me but although it's been sitting in my safe for 10 years the original power supply is still holding the charge. I've been wearing it for the last few days after watching this video! PS..I still have the packaging and paperwork. I'm amazed that after almost 23 years it still works...never had the back off.

I upgraded the capacitor in my dad's old, like new, vintage Seiko 100M that I gave him for Father's day in the 90's. Those screws are ridiculously small and have a jumping bean mind of their own. What a job! I can't believe I did it successful on the second attempt.

This was the first watch I bought. I bought it new when I turned 20. It lasted for about 3 years before it died and I could find a single watch shop that would touch it. It’s sat in a drawer since then.

Imho it's a vintage watch, Seiko don't really sell Kinetic pieces in mass quantity anymore. I love my Kinetic SMA005P1 which was my first Seiko watch.

kool ass watch,i am bidding on a kinetic,in runs inter mitically.i really like your info.i have subscribed.i'm learning how to repair on watches myself.you guys who are showing the public how to vids have my respect and admiration.cant work no more after having 5 back surgeries and this hobby is not to costly.i have to make baby steps as far as equipment cleaning and oil and gaskets etc.sav ga has only one watch repair shop.it was owned by a older man who retired and sold out to a chinese guy and his wife.they are so busy they will not even look at cheap watches.one of the reasons i am leaning how to do it on my own.

I have been wearing a Seiko Kinetic for about 20 years now. With a new capacitor and things I got from ebay, I've kept it going well. My problem though [it's personal] is that I prefer to wear the watch on the inside of my left wrist. Needless to say this goobers-up the crystal. Besides the new crystal I've got waiting to go in, is there any suggestion you could give [other than the obvious] to protect the crystal?

I removed the super tight case back with some challenge. Now that I have it open I can't remove any of the screws I have a set that ranges from 0.6mm to 1.6mm and the one that seems to fit inside the slot at about 1mm in the for example middle screw has a narrow blade whereas the slot is relatively much longer and extremely shallow so it wont turn at all. Do you have any advice for how to resolve this?

Seiko's original kinetic watches were advertised as not needing batteries, they used capacitors. But there were problems with early capacitors, like leaking, and they improved them. But, soon after seiko switched to LiOn batteries, about 20 years ago. Most Seikos that had capacitors can be updated by replacement with a LiOn battery, but they don't call it a battery, they call it a Kinetic Electricity Storage Unit (Kinetic ESU), a name made up so they wouldn't have to call it a battery. Capacitor or battery, or KESU, they all store electrical energy, and they all need replacement eventually.
