Review on πŸ”‹ SEIKO 3023.5MY Capacitor – Genuine Original by Carlos Barrett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Back from the dead in the car AV installation

My 20 year old Seiko Arctura Kinetic (5m-62) died about 6-7 years ago. The cost of replacing a Seiko rechargeable lithium-ion battery was absurd, so I kept putting off repairs. After researching the topic and watching YouTube videos, I decided to give it a try. I have a few basic watch repair tools and supplies and have been changing batteries, straps etc for several years. Replacing the battery (not the capacitor) was easier than expected and my watch is working perfectly again. 15 minute charging cycles mean a running time of 4 months. A few more minutes of loading showed 4-6 months. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Tape
