Works as expected but not an easy job
My Seiko solar watch is only 4 years old but started stopping every night. I tried charging the battery by placing it in the window but it would only work for 2 days without stopping. I installed the new battery this morning and have it in the window to make sure it’s fully charged before wearing. The installation of the battery was definitely challenging. I ordered a watch repair kit to remove the back and the tiny little screw that holds the battery in. When I say tiny screw I mean it’s a tiny screw. I removed the screw without much problem but screwing it back in was not easy to say the least. You really need one of the jewelers magnifying lenses that goes on your head to get the screw into the hole and screwed down. While holding the screw with the tweezers provided in the repair kit and trying to get it in the hole, the screw popped out and flew off the table. I can’t believe I was able to find it both times. So to make a long story short, this battery plus the repair kit will repair your watch but you need good light, good eyes, patience  and a steady hand. I really had none of the above but somehow managed to complete the job. Good luck 😁<br /><br />Update: the battery was not the problem as the watch still stops. 4 years of easy use and a 3 year warranty the watch is done. I had a Seiko before this one that I wore for 25 years. I have always swore by Seiko but have now ordered a Citizen.
