Original SEIKO Capacitor 3023.5MY

Worked with my watch

Excellent product, exact fit and relatively easy installation as long as you mind the extremely small screws. Does require removal of the pendulum to be able to access the cover for the battery completely. Tons cheaper than sending this in to be done elsewhere.

Works properly for my Seiko Kinetic watch. It did take a few days to reflect full charge when checking charge. I had read in a few other reviews it will not fully charge. I think maybe the reviews were posted before allowing it to fully charge. It was very easy to replace after watching a video online. I bought this for a watch that is not worn daily and I am happy to have it working properly again.

This capacitor is compatible with my Seiko kinetic watch 5m62 0da0. After 13 years, the old capacitor was holding less charge and would need to be wound almost daily. After having a professional swap in this replacement part, the watch is like new again.

Initially I was pleased. My Seiko Kinetic watch worked perfectly after I replaced the old capacitor (battery) after a watch repair specialist told me it couldn’t be repaired. I was pleased that I was able to replace it myself. The problem is that it worked about 3-4 months then one day it didn’t. It has lain idle since. Upon further research I have found that capacitor failure is common but there maybe a newer design that may work. I am not sure that it is worth more expense.

Revising my review, this battery does recharge and works in an acceptable manner. I am pleased with it. It never does register a full charge by the watch mechanism but I can’t say it’s the battery’s issue. I give it a B+. Previous review ( I’m thinking this is just a regular battery. Not a rechargeable. Installed it and it reads 2/3 charge like many reviews state. It never went higher than that after wearing it a lot. Then left it in my drawer for 6 weeks. Still has a 2/3 charge and it should have none. So - just a regular battery. That’s why everyone says it dies in first year. Original battery lasted 10 years.)

Awesome! Repaired my seiko kinetic watch perfectly.

Arrived quickly enough and with a charge that borderlined 2/3's capacity (which is normal storage voltage). Tips for others: watch the videos and find pictures of your movement detailing battery, insulator, and washer alignment. Pay particular attention to how the left battery anode slides UNDER the copper contact of the movement. Be sure not to pin the cathode contact under the battery. Be careful not to short the battery with metal tweezers (if so, no more than microseconds). A little down pressure with the screw driver was necessary for me, but as soon as the torque broke I eased off. A cheep 15x jeweler's loop is essential for aligning battery, insulator, and washer - but reading glasses worked best otherwise. Have a magnetized jeweler's screwdriver - cheap eyeglass screw drivers can be sharpened with a nail file and magnetized by rubbing it over a refrigerator magnet a few times. Do your work over several squares of white paper towel, or a white cotton sheet - when a screw only half a mm long jumps out from under your screw driver, the paper towel/ cotton cloth prevent the screw from continuing it's skid off the hard surface of a table and vanishing forever on the floor. Even so, and in either case, in the event of a list screw an extremely bright flashlight held sideways to your line of vision and closely parallel to the surface you suspected it landed on all but encourages the list screw to jump back into the watch and screw itself in - this has never failed for me as even the smallest objects can cast the biggest shadows this way. When removing waterproof casebacks get a cheap waterproof case back wrench - they're less than $10, and the two point "sliders" work great. DON'T use a pair of scissors ... If you get alignment of the battery, insulator, or washer wrong the watch may still work, but not recharge or short out intermittently and did in a month. Use Vaseline or silicon grease to cost the case back side of the rubber gasket mating surface ... Or do one side of the other but not both! I personally would NOT grease the rubber O-ring itself and here's my logic based on experience: there needs to be a dry surface for the clean but dry o-ring to stick to as the case back is screwed down right. You do want one of the two metal surfaces to be lubricated so that it doesn't shared the rubber ring, but if the rubber ring is allowed to slip against both surfaces as the case back is tightened it will slip outwards (stretching as it does) and it will keep its new size bulging out one side of the watch or the other and you have to replace the o-ring that makes your watch waterproof.

問題なく使えますし、古い時計が甦りました。

Perfekt

Arrivata come preventivato... è un giorno che l'ho montata ..per ora tutto ok. Ci sono due pezzettini di carta non ho capito a cosa servono.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden

Ne pas avoir la tramblotte, avoir les outils nécessaires, et surtout une excellente vue vu la taille des trois vis qui font la taille d'une puce
