Seiko Kinetic watches are designed with a special circuit that compensates for excess loads such as would be caused by gummy oil, dirt, or rust. When an excess load is encountered in your Kinetic watch, extra current is automatically sent through your Kinetic watch. The extra current will keep your watch running well past the time that it should be cleaned and oiled. The extra current consumed can also cause the capacitor to discharge so quickly that your activity cannot keep it charged. When I receive your Seiko kinetic watch for repair I hook it up to a specially designed meter that tells me the drain rate your watch has, if your watch has a high drain rate it will need to be cleaned and oiled, in addition to a new capacitor. I also visually inspect the gaskets, crown, and case for wear and make recommendations on their replacement also. If you have had a new capacitor installed in your watch and it starts to act the same as it did before the new capacitor was installed, you may need to have your watch cleaned and oiled also.
