My SSC227 stopped charging. I thought I need to replace the capacitor, but I did restart the watch by pushing two outside buttons simultaneously and it started working like brand new.
Sir: Thank you so very much for this video. I own 3 of this exact series of Seiko solar watches. I fell in love with them and bought then all at the same time. An all black, a Pepsi and a blue. the batteries/capacitors lasted about 19 years on two but the Pepsi is STILL l going strong! Thanks to your video I repaired the two, and I am sure the Pepsi will need it also soon. Thanks again.
this watch seems to be so new to have it's battery replaced, probably the owner did not use very often and the battery was damaged. I read eco drive owners saying their battery lasts 15-20 years. I like very much watch your vídeos.
Hi, I have a V175 movement solar watch as well. Replaced the battery, but the watch won’t start. I previously had the watch stored out of sunlight for a while FYI. Any idea why it won’t start with the new battery? Thanks
@@SolimBD not sure I understand. The original battery wouldn’t run, so I bought a new seiko battery. Put the new battery in and nothing. I left the watch in the sun for over 6 hrs today and nothing. I reset the watch per instructions (holding down outside buttons for 3 secs) and still nothing.
@@jaysterflex4152 Thanks mate, your comment was extremely essential/addition to this video! I got the battery replaced, after hours under sun it wasn’t working and then I noticed your comment, pressed the both buttons for 3 seconds and it started!!! Thank you so much!!
@@jaysterflex4152 I think it is called a capacitor not just a battery.It wiill require light if it is beating at 2 second movements.Always make sure to order the correct replacement part when ordering.
Once upon a time in Israel at a flea market, I saw a whole bowl of Seiko Kinetic and the seller agreed to any price, just take the whole bowl even for one shekel. The fact is that in Israeli realities, replacing a battery, that is, a capacitor, is more expensive than buying a working watch, even in the United States, the average price for a capacitor is $25, I just checked, although it can be cheaper, but sometimes it takes 40+ installations. Today in New York they ask for at least $10 to replace a simple cheap Chinese battery, and at the same time they also say that they are doing you a favor; in fact, you are robbing them. Therefore, given today's reality, such watches are simply not worth buying.
Thank you i have a Justex 1969 Diver it was my Dads he passed so i ware his stuff everyday thank you so much

I happen to have one of these watches. When you say repair, do you mean battery change?
Beautiful watch. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Is the force that has been impressed with the rubber ball sufficient to maintain its waterproofness??

Thanks for opinion
My eco-drive lasted 5 years
@@Mark-sd7fc very few years, many ordinary quartz watches the battery last 5 or 10 years.
My V175 capacitor battery lasted 7 years. Good vdo to help me replace it myself, since shops around me want $90 to replace it.

Set original battery or wrong?

@@jaysterflex4152 thanks! The reset procedure jumpstarted my watch. It saved me the travel to the repair center.

What's that stuff used on the o-ring? Some sort of cleaner? Oil? What is it?
Silicon grease
Is the Position of the new battery important?
Yes
The seal should not be placed on the counter after it has been dampened, as it collects dust.
Thanks for support
this watch is automatic or baterry ?
Solar recharging battery
