Are Seiko Kinetic watches valuable?

It has no value. Unless it’s a great looking watch that someone would like because of that, I don’t think it will have value beyond any other quartz. Not to say that there wouldn’t be a few Kinetic nuts who collect them, but certainly not enough to cause the values to rise.

How long will a Seiko Kinetic watch last?

Seiko developed the first Kinetic watch back in 1988. The movement does have an internal rotor inside that swings, but it’s connected to a piece of quartz and a capacitor. The energy stored inside the capacitor powers the watch. The power stored on the watch can last up to 4 years or longer.

Is Seiko Kinetic discontinued?

When were Seiko Kinetic watches made?

1988
7M22 (later renamed as “Kinetic.”) In 1988 came the big breakthrough; Seiko KINETIC, a watch with an oscillating weight that converted the wearer’s motion into electricity and thus powered the quartz movement. From the moment that the quartz watch was born, Seiko strove to create ‘no battery change’ technologies.

Why does my Seiko Kinetic watch keep stopping?

If the Seiko Kinetic watch isn’t keeping time, especially if it is sitting overnight (perhaps while you are sleeping), it is because the capacitor isn’t working. Capacitors need movement to keep time. If the watch fails to run within 24 hours it will need a new capacitor, which will actually be replaced by a LiOn cell.
