Wow! So I have to comment as well! I’ve had my watch v172 ‘dead’ for about 5 years. Charging it on direct sunlight didn’t work. Took it to various watch repairers who refused to take it because this is solar. Seiko salespeople told me to send it to New Jersey. Called Seiko and they only gave an address to send it to. But it I it took 5 seconds to fix I! Five seconds! Five! You’re the man. Because of you I have my watch back. You made my day! I’m so happy.
