Getting a kinetic movement going.
My kinetic movement watch is stopped. If I wear it and shake it, the second hand skips around, but I can’t get it to run consistently. Any magic here? Watch winder? Does light help? Maybe it’s broken?

Kinetic Seikos don’t need light as far as I recall. How old is it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

It is a year and a half old. I believe Seiko’s service center is 45 minutes north of me and a Seiko outlet 30 minutes away. I could get it checked out.

I use this guy to charge. Place the watch head vertically (6 or 12 down) and it will charge. :)

Worst case, you need to replace the capacitor.
But do try to have it charged. Happened to me recently. Already had a capacitor ordered. Then technician said, he will try to charge. After a few hours, back to normal. This happens when not used regularly. |

It’s a tooth brush charger HX9100... I did't get the cup and place the watch directly onto the charger:

It worked!
I happened to have the recommended tooth brush charger. I charged the watch overnight and it appears to be running. Thank you very much, you saved me a trip to Seiko! For what period of time do you charge it?

please be reminded that the watch does get warm, and my advice would be placing it at somewhere well ventilated. |
