- How
to Charge Seiko Kinetic
Seiko Kinetic watches must be charged before they
are set. Charging is simple. Gently swing the watch
from side to side in a small arc for two to three
minutes. As you swing the watch, the oscillating weight
in the generating system may give out a small sound
as it rotates. When the second hand begins to move
in one second intervals, the watch has stored at least
three hours of power and is ready to be set.
Checking the Power Reserve
The power reserve indicator function shows how much
energy is stored in the watch's capacitor. To check
how long the watch can operate on its current charge,
wait until the second hand is in the 12 o'clock position
and press the button at the 2 o'clock position on
the watch case. Then use the chart below to determine
how much stored energy is indicated by the number
of seconds that the second hand moved. The second
hand will resume normal operation in 30 seconds or
less.

- Low
Energy Reserve Warning
When the second hand starts to move in two-second
intervals instead of the usual one-second intervals,
the watch's energy reserves are low. The watch should
be charged by swinging it gently from side to side
in a small arc for approximately one minute.
