Why has my Seiko KINETIC 5M43 Watch stopped operating?
Your Seiko Watch may have stopped because all the electrical energy stored in the KINETIC E.S.U. has been used up. In this case, charge the watch.
What to do if my Seiko KINETIC 5M43 gains or loses time?
If your Seiko Watch is gaining or losing time, there could be several reasons: 1. If the watch has been left in extremely high or low temperatures for an extended period, this condition will be corrected when the watch temperature returns to normal. 2. If the watch was brought into close contact with a magnetic object, this condition will be corrected when the watch is kept away from the magnetic source. 3. If the watch was dropped, hit against a hard surface, exposed to strong vibrations or worn while playing active sports, this condition will not be corrected. Have the watch checked by the retailer.
Why is the second hand on my Seiko KINETIC 5M43 moving at two-second intervals?
If the second hand on your Seiko Watch is moving at two-second intervals, it means that the electrical energy stored in KINETIC E.S.U. has been reduced to an extremely low level. The watch may stop operating in 3 hours, so charge the watch.
What to do if the date changes at 12 o'clock noon on my Seiko KINETIC 5M43 Watch?
If the date on your Seiko Watch is changing at 12 o'clock noon, the AM/PM setting is not properly set. Advance the hands by 12 hours.
What to do if the power reserve is not increasing on my Seiko KINETIC 5M43 Watch?
If the power reserve on your Seiko Watch is not increasing even when worn daily, it may be because you wear the watch only for a short time or lead a sedentary life with little arm movement. Wear the watch on your wrist as long as possible. It is recommended to wear the watch for more than 10 hours a day for at least 3 consecutive days. This should allow the second hand to advance 20 or 30 seconds when pressing the power reserve indicator button, indicating the power reserve in KINETIC E.S.U. has increased.
What to do if blur in the display persists on my Seiko Watch?
If blur persists in the display of your Seiko Watch, a small amount of water may have entered the watch due to deterioration of the gasket. Please rinse the watch in fresh water. If it cannot be washed out, take your watch to the watch retailer.
Why is the rotating bezel on my Seiko Watch not turning smoothly?
If the rotating bezel on your Seiko Watch is not turning smoothly, dust, soil, sand, or the like may be stuck between the case and the rotating bezel. Consult the retailer.
