Our Kinetic Repair Estimate tests your watch's charging circuitry, coil resistance and the all-important "consumption."  Don't believe the hype at other sites advertising to "replace your capacitor" for $70.  Most competitors DO NOT perform these tests, the results of which are the ONLY way to verify that your Kinetic watch will provide years of trouble-free operation.  Still in doubt about sending us your watch?  Read this person's Kinetic HORROR STORY.

Sending your Kinetic Watch for an Estimate is Easy!

1. Purchase our Kinetic Estimate, then download our shipping/repair authorization form.
2. Package and mail in your watch with your repair authorization form.  When we receive your watch it is diagnosed, and an invoice for repair is emailed to you. 
3. After we receive your payment, your watch is repaired and mailed back to you.  

• Replacement of original capacitor, capacitor bridge and insulator (1-year guaranty).  Competitors call this a "capacitor overhaul." 
• Voltage testing of your new capacitor.
• Testing of your watch's charging circuitry.
• Verification of your watch's coil resistance (both generating and operating coils).
• Testing of your watch's power consumption (running and circuit).
• Charging on factory SEIKO equipment.
• Digital timing check for quartz accuracy.
• Cleaning of gasket channel and case back.
• New case-back gasket installed.
• Lubrication of ALL O-rings on case back, crown/stem AND PUSHER.
• PROOF of water-resistance verification/pressure testing with a printed receipt.
• One-year guaranty of capacitor/power cell functioning (in writing).

ALL repairs performed by a certified, trained professional utilizing state-of-the-art tools, and factory Seiko diagnostic & charging equipment. 

Compare our basic service to other "cheaper" services claiming to "overhaul your capacitor."  Most competitors are only changing your capacitor and cleaning your watch.

Some kinetics require MORE than basic service to function properly.  Unsure what service level your watch requires?  Click here to find out if you may need intermediate or complete service!

Replacing the caseback gasket involves precleaning of the gasket channel and caseback, selection of
the proper size and type of new gasket, prelubrication, proper seating, and then correct torque.
 
What does the competition do to your watch?  Our exclusive estimate and diagnosis will test your watch movement's operation using factory-Seiko diagnostic equipment.  These tests are the only way to know that your watch will run properly.  Your watch's charging circuitry, its coil's resistance, its consumption, the capacitor's voltage and its ability to hold a charge . . . all these are tested when your watch is diagnosed during the estimate.  Ask the competition if they are doing anything more than cleaning your watch and installing a new capacitor.  A "clean" watch with new "spring bars" on your bracelet means nothing if the movement is not tested to confirm it is operating according to Seiko's factory technical specifications.  If your watch movement is within specifications, our basic service will return it to running condition.  If your watch movement needs additional service, our estimate process will advise you of the need for these repairs, or you can decline service and have the watch returned to you, minus our non-refundable $25 estimate fee.

Water Resistance & the Basic Service:  Our basic service includes pressure testing for water resistance to 30m or 3 bar/atm on all kinetic basic-service watches, which will insure that your watch is properly sealed.  Verifcation to 30m or 3 bar/atm will allow your watch to resist water that is spashed on it, or a brief immersion in water to several inches, but will NOT rate it for swimming.   If you desire your watch to be pressure tested to its rated depth (if higher), then you can request our intermediate or full service.   

Pressure Testing:  Pressure testing is a service designed for DIVE WATCHES (rated at 200m or more).  If you are not scuba diving or submerging your watch, the basic service is normally ALL your watch will require.  In addition, almost no watch repair facility will guarantee, in writing, that they will be responsible for damage caused by a watch failing to operate underwater.  Why?  Because the consumer/end user may do any number of things that compromise the water resistance security that has been restored and tested during a repair process.  If you don't believe us, start asking around, and look for this in writing. 

Would you like your watch and bracelet ultrasonically cleaned and lightly polished,  and/or pressure testing to 100m or higher?   

If you desire these additional services, we offer an intermediate level, and a complete service level for your Seiko Kinetic watch. 


SAFE PRESSURE TESTING is performed with a Greiner/Vibrograf LT-100 Poseidon dry tester (above),
and an AF/Swiss wet tester - if required to isolate a leak (pictured lower right, below). 

 
Results of your pressure test can be photo-documented (pictured above left) if requested by you when the watch is sent in for intermediate or full service.  Ask the competition if they can or will provide you with PROOF of your watch's pressure test results. 

At KineticRepair.com we specialize in Seiko Kinetic watch repair.  With each of our three service levels you are assured of getting just the right amount of service, each and every time. 

Your Seiko KINETIC watch will be expertly repaired following the same guidelines utilized at the factory where your watch was originally manufactured.
