Replace the capacitor, Enjoy the Watch

Hi, It's a common problem with Kinetic's, if not given a fair amount of wrist time. Left uncharged for long periods is a killer for capacitor, it's not the end of the world, as DAHASCO said get the capacitor checked/changed.....Bob.

I'll jump on the bandwagon too. Replace the capacitor. It will make a world of difference. Not all that expensive and not all that difficult to do either.

Cheers!

I just replaced the one in my 5m42 for less than $25 USD. I got it from a vendor on Amazon.

Cheers!

Capacitor is first thing I look at, typically it takes (according to tech bulletin) about 200 shakes - sideways by holding the case in your hand and going left right not to hard and keep level after a watch is dead , from drained li capacitor.
But I just replaced a capacitor last week on a mans seiko, and the issue was deeper.
The pivot on one end of the stator was broken so the energy from the rotor was not transferred by the magnetic stator to the capacitor.
Its a bit of fine work for sure.
Best of luck

It should make a world of difference after you change it.

Don't forget to leave a charge in that cell while storing! Lithium-ion cells like to have 50% + charge in them to maintain optimum performance!
