SEIKO KINETIC WATCH REPAIR
Yellowstone Watch Repair gives careful attention to your Seiko Kinetic watch while it is here for repair. When replacement parts are needed, Yellowstone Watch Repair uses genuine Seiko Kinetic replacement parts.
Yellowstone Watch Repair will thoroughly examine your watch and report to you what your Seiko Kinetic watch requires to be fully functioning again. YellowstoneWatch.com uses the latest technology, skills and modern machines to restore your Seiko Kinetic watch to factory specifications.
The newer lithium ion rechargeable batteries are designed to last much longer than the old style capacitors. Seiko estimates they will last at least eight years. Unfortunately just because the lithium rechargeable battery lasts for eight years does not mean your watch will not need maintenance. We have found some watch repairers just replace the capacitor and the back gasket in your watch without checking for other problems. It is true, that if just the capacitor and the back gasket is replaced, the price of repair can appear to be inexpensive. It is also true that most Kinetic watches just need a new capacitor, to run. But consider this, usually by the time your capacitor needs replacing, the gasket in the crown, and the pusher button gasket in addition to the back gasket also need replacing. We thoroughly examine your watch and use a meter that checks for correct functioning of your watch electrically. We will give you a firm estimate on any repairs your kinetic watch might need.
The lithium ion rechargeable battery we use in your kinetic watch is supplied by Seiko and is designed for your watch, it will work better than the capacitor it is replacing. Both the Capacitor and the Lithium battery store electrical energy, they just do it in a different way. The Lithium battery has a lot more capacity than the capacitor it is replacing so you will be able to go for longer periods without wearing your watch, after it is fully charged.
We have most parts for Seiko Kinetic watches in stock, so the turn around time for most repairs is quick.
Capacitor replacement costs $64.95. The $64.95 covers capacitor replacement, cleaning the case and band, light polishing of the case and band, and a new back gasket. Restoring band and case finishes is a very time consuming and detailed job, especially if your watch has had rough use. So anything more than just light polishing will be estimated separately.
The gaskets in your watch do wear out and do need replacing for water resistance. The crystal gasket is nylon and is usually good for at least eight years. The gasket in your crown and pusher buttons are rubber. These gaskets are also generally good for about least eight years, unless you use your watch swimming and diving. If you take your watch swimming, the rubber gaskets will wear out quickly and should be replaced about every two years, minimum. They should be checked regularly if you swim and dive on a regular basis. The nylon crystal gasket does hold up better but still need to be checked and tested under these conditions.

Seiko Corporation was founded in Japan in 1881 and became known worldwide by 1969. They looked at the watch technology differently than ever before with the first timepieces with LCD screens and digital time as well as multi-functional “computer” style watches. Seiko has been the Official timekeeper of The Toyko Olympics, Cross Country Championships and is an International Sponsor of many sports. Today, Seiko is known for its advanced technology and concept of moving forward into the future with timepieces like the Perpetual Calender and Kinetic movements. Seiko Watches are fashionable and functional as well as futuristic.
Seiko Kinetic, whose name means "always in motion", was founded in 1881. Seiko Kinetic is probably best known for its Museum Watches, a collection that debuted in 1947, which features black faces and a single gold dot at the 12 o'clock position, representing the sun at high noon. In addition to this signature look, Seiko Kinetic watches are known for being very light-weight.
In 2006, Seiko Kinetic celebrated its 125th year of watchmaking. With its watches set in museum collections around the world, the Seiko Kinetic Company has made its mark of fame on the world. Frequent publicity in leading magazines and trendy ad campaigns furthers this fame.
