Some of the watches we receive for a service still have this cell and sill hold a similar charge to an Automatic watch (2 days) after over 30 years.
The Capacitor has not been used by Seiko since 2000. It is a rechargeable battery now made by Panasonic or Maxell and is 30 times more powerful, it is the same cell as used in solar watches.
The reason these cells fail, is that they have not been worn enough to keep them charged. Rechargeable batteries deteriorate very quickly when in a discharged state.
There is another reason the cell fails and that is because the watch is in “High Power Mode” due to requiring a service, the oils and greases dry out making the movement very stiff, the electronics deliver 12 times the normal power, trying to keep the watch going, this puts a very heavy strain on the battery.
This guarantee excludes any damage or deterioration that results from an accident or from mishandling of the watch.
Any intervention by a third party will also void the Service Guarantee.
If Seiko say they cannot repair your watch because the parts are obsolete, we should be able as we have a large stock of genuine spare parts.
If we cannot repair your watch, we will return it with a full refund, providing it is not salt water damaged or physically damaged by someone trying to repair it or been left for over a year with a flat battery in it, in which case there is a £20 fee for its return.
We return it the same way and they have never damaged or lost a watch.
Package it in a small box or a padded envelope and wrap your watch in something to protect it, this will also stop it ripping the envelope.
Make sure that your name, address and postal code is on the outside of the package and on the correspondence inside.
Do not send the presentation box, as we have our own standard packing, therefore it will not be returned.
We don't do part jobs as the movement has to come out of the case and dirt gets disturbed.
If the watch has been badly damaged physically or has been badly damaged by water Ingres, we might not be able to repair it.
We always test it to the same pressure it was manufactured too, when we service it.
It is no use shaking it; you will have to shake it for about 5 hours every day.
