Kinetic Charger for charging Seiko
Kinetic watches
At Kinetic Repairs UK, we have been Servicing
Seiko Watches for over 25 years
We make this charger, as ordinary watch winders WILL NOT CHARGE a
Kinetic watch, however long you leave it winding.
The Capacitor / Battery should last over 20 years if kept fully charged,
but only about 5 years if almost flat.
This Charger is a must if you only wear your Kinetic watch for best, or have
more than one Kinetic watch, or are less active than you used to be.
Technical stuff
A Seiko Kinetic
Quartz watch has a generator to charge a storage cell, so it has to be moved
fast to generate a high enough voltage to charge the cell.
In our Seiko Horology
workshop, we have converted ordinary watch winders into chargers by modifying
the electronics and replacing the internal motor and gearbox with a
high-quality, specially-built gearbox. The charging rotor in your watch will
run at 10,000 revolutions per minute on our Charger, which is the correct speed
and won't overcharge the storage cell.
It will fully charge
any Seiko Kinetic watch, and you can also use this Charger to wind any
automatic watch fully in about 20 minutes.
60% of the Seiko
Kinetic watches we get for repair that are less than six years old, have a
damaged battery due to not being kept above 40% charged.
It comes with a 1 metre cable that plugs into a standard USB-A socket (5
volts), so it is very safe.

If your watch is a Seiko 9T82, the storage cell cannot be replaced it has to go to Japan and be serviced, at a cost of over £450, but this charger will stop it detreating further.
If you have a faulty watch winder, you can repair it with the motor and
gearbox we remove from these new winders. We sell them on eBay.
