INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING SEIKO & PULSAR KINETIC WATCHES

WITH A NEW SEIKO KINETIC RECHARGABLE BATTERY

**Please Be Sure To Read All This Information Before Use.**

INITIAL STARTING AND CHARGING OF THE WATCH:

 

• When using the watch for the first time be sure to charge the watch fully by swinging it side to side, before setting the time and other functions.

   

  Swing your watch side to side about 2 times per second. Swinging in arcs of about 8 inches. No benefit is accomplished by swinging hard or swingin faster.

   

  Be sure the second hand is moving at 1 second intervals. If the second hand is moving in 2 second intervals the power reserve is very low and the indicator does not function.

   

• Wait for the second hand to reach the 12 o'clock position before pressing the indicator button.

   

  When you push the power reserve button, the power reserve indicator will advance to the 5, 10 or 20 minute position.

   

  On the first push of the button if you get a reading of 10 or 20 the reading is probably incorrect. A second push of the button is needed to show the correct power reserve.

   

• If the power indicator shows 20 - 30 seconds the watch is now ready for wear. It is best to start wearing it when you start your day.

   

Before putting your watch away for the night and after you have worn it for 10+ hours be sure to check the power reserve.

If the indicator is no higher than the 5 second position, you will need to charge the watch by swinging it or using the Seiko Kinetic charging unit.

If this procedure is not done the watch may not have enough reserve power to continue running all night.

If the indicator will not go past the 5 or 10 second position the capacitor is not getting the charge or not accepting the charge.

Your watch will need to be sent in to us for the proper repair.

THE POWER INDICATOR:

To use the diagram below the watch needs to be worn for at least 10 hours or more for about 10 days. This allows the watch to store energy in the Energy Storage Unit. If you do not wear the watch for 10+ hours per day for 10 consecutive days the diagram below will not apply.

If you do wear it as described the indicator should be around the 10 second position or higher. After normal wearing of the watch during your day for 20+ days the indicator should show about the 20 second mark, as shown in Fig. 4.

To get the reserve indicator to show the 30 second mark (Fig 5) requires a very active person. If the indicator consistently shows around the 20 second mark (Fig. 4) it is normal.

IF YOU HAVE A HARD TIME KEEPING YOUR WATCH CHARGED:

The unit below can charge your watch completely in about 30 minutes.

These units are great for anyone that doesn't wear their watch everyday.

I have 11 of these exact units and use them to fully charge your watch before it is sent back to you.

If your Kinetic watch won't keep a charge the capacitor probably needs to be replaced.

Why pay more and/or get less?

Why pay less and not have your watch repaired properly?

NO hidden costs

NO extra fees if your watch is dirty or something like that.

NO bogus claims.

3 - 4 day turnaround. Not weeks or months.

Seiko Kinetic capacitor overhaul $75 (a $155 value)

Included in the overhaul for your Seiko Kinetic Watch or Pulsar Kinetic Watch is:

• Kinetic Capacitor Replacement.

 

• Clean Case.

  This is vital. See why.

 

• New Case Back Gasket.

  This is vital so your watch will be sealed again. Without this your watch could leak. Most other people do not do this in their service.

  This is vital so your watch will be sealed again. Without this your watch could leak. Most other people do not do this in their service.

 

• Seal Pusher

  This is vital so your watch will be sealed again. Without this your watch could leak. Most other people do not do this in their service.

• Clean metal band.

 

• New stainless steel spring bars (if needed).

I think you will find my price and service is the best!!!!

Send Your Watch Safely.

I have a modern state of the art facility. I am located in a city and not out in the middle of nowhere with limited access. I have modern state of the art security and 24 hour/7 days a week monitoring. Your watch is safe and secure here.

If you decide to call, leave a message and when I get a chance I will return the call. It might take a few days because I am very busy working on watches. The phone number is 208-635-5036 between 9am and 11am Pacific time Monday - Friday. Please understand that when I am on the phone I am not repairing watches. My first priority are to those people that have sent their watches in for repair. If you need or want a faster reply then use my contact form. I reply to forms everyday except on Saturday, Sunday and holidays.

You can ship by any of the common carriers - FedEx, UPS, Post Office, DHL.

Enclose your contact info. (Name, Address, Phone and email address, etc.) This is vital. We cannot contact you or return your watch without this.

Please do not send any Watch Boxes with your watch.

Simply wrap your watch in bubble wrap or other type of protective packaging and use a sturdy box.

My time is as valuable as yours. I need to be paid for it just like you do. So on Seiko Kinetic Watches and Pulsar Kinetic Watches I have a small charge of $30 for the estimate (this is only charged if you decide you don't want your kinetic watch repaired after I have spent my time to inspect and work up the estimate for your kinetic watch).

This covers my time to work up the estimate on your kinetic watch and return priority mail shipping if you do not have the repair done. This fee is waived if the repair is done.

You do not need to send any money with your kinetic watch.

NOTICE: All watches not picked up or paid for within 30 days of repair will be deemed abandoned and forfeited.
