Help! Solar watch completely frozen.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, sorry to disturb you all, but I had a question about my watch. I received a Seiko SNJ250P (number on the back is H851-00A0) as a gift just yesterday and it has completely stopped working. I was wearing it out to a sports game today when I noticed it had stopped moving completely - the digital and analog faces both frozen. I went home yesterday and left it in the sun for about 5 hrs, and it still hasn't unfrozen. Can you guys offer me any advice?

How old is the watch ? The rechargeable battery which i think is a capacitor is supposed to last around ten years. Bearing in mind it may have been manufactured some years before it was purchased.  I have a seiko solar diver chronograph and have it stored in a watch case, the battery has run flat a couple of times while in the dark  It has taken more than 5 hours to start up again. Give it a full day in a light position, if nothing then it may need the battery changing, of course it could be completely unrelated to the battery.

They used to be capacitors there are now rechargeable lithium batteries.

If it's a gift perhaps it was purchased brand-new in which case it has a warranty.

Yes complicated watches you should always read the manual.
