Try this 1. Obtain a small metal wire or a pair of tweezers. 2. Locate the "AC" marking on the watch. 3. Use one end of the wire or the tweezer to gently insert it into the area labeled "AC." 4. Take the other end of the wire or the tweezer and touch it to the battery installed in the watch. 5. If the previous step doesn't work, try this alternative: - Install the battery in the watch. - Remove the battery a few times while simultaneously resetting the watch with the wire/tweezer and the back of the battery. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot any issues with your watch more effectively.
Look for the ⬅️ symbol on the back with a magnifying glass. Wherever it points, next to it will be a small hole that you can use a needle to push down and simultaneously pulling out the stem.
When the battery is on the way out on these Seiko Mechaquartz movements does the subdial second hand start to stutter?, this is what's happening to mine now.
Start buying automatics. I have several vintage Seiko divers (6309 and 7s26) and they keep time as good as my Omega and Rolex and higher end watches I have.
Excellent video, thank you!
Thank You, how do I AC reset? The sticker inside says to do an AC reset after the battery install

Excellent! How to remove the stem?

In the manual it says you should perform a short circuit after changing the battery. Is it okay not to do so? Thanks for sharing this tutorial btw!
Short circuit discharges the battery. Why would that be done on a new battery and why is it necessary on an dead battery?
No, you have to perform the short circuit!
How do you get the rear cover off without that specific tool?
I have the same question
Me too
Thank you very much
May I ask what type of movement is this Seiko? Is it a VK63?
Should be quartz movement, my similar model SSB325 is Quartz
@@jasondanner6630 Appreciate it, thank you.

That’s a possibility. Change the battery
Short circuit the battery with metal tweezers is just about the stupides thing you can do
You shouldnt touch the battery with the tweezers or bare fingers. Also you set the time to almost 2 am not pm
You’re absolutely Right
I have a lot of Saiko watches to change the battery and never works so I threw them away
Junk to me
Of course Saiko watches are junk 😊

If this is customer pay and you are charging for this service... Why didn't you lube the O ring bub??? Corner cutting makes failure... JS
Good point, will do next time. Thanks
😮😅
