Capacitors are used to "store" voltage and the voltage depends upon the circuit the capacitor is matched to. The size of the charge is measured in capacitance or uF / pF There is usually a problem if the capacitance is incorrect for the circuit. The voltage is usually the amount provided by the power source and the rating is actually the max voltage the capacitor can take and not the amount it will charge up to. So if the original was rated at 1.5v it seems that the power source only provided an amount less than 1.5v so using a 3v should be ok provided that the capacitance rating is exactly the same. Check the capacitance.

If anyone else finds fault with this please chip in - I will not mind [emoji6]

Cheers, Vic

      Hello forum, I have just joined the forum and I believe it is the done thing to introduce myself.  I am based in Surrey UK and am essentially a complete novice at watch repair.  Fairly life long interest in watches, starting from not being allowed one as a child as I kept taking them apart… After watching a you tube video of a watch service, I thought to myself “I could do that…”. Well I got myself a Seiko 7002 dive watch that was a non runner. Striped cleaned and reassembled. With much blaming of tools, dropped parts and feeling out of my depth I got it working again. I built my own pressure tester and it leaked like a sieve! fixed now though.    I’ve since done a few 7002’s and an NH35A with mostly success. But now I’m left with quite a few working movements and no budget for cases. Overall my lack of a timegrapher has really hampered things and efforts using phone apps have been disappointing.    I next moved to an ETA 2472, all went well until I snapped the stem after failure to find a suitable case for it. Alas replacements seem almost the price I paid for the movement! Hopefully I’ll stumble on a suitable one one day.   Currently working on a Smiths 512 pin pallet movement. All went well until the shock protection. My goodness they are tricky compared to all the others and now I’m down one shock spring. This was my first movement I’d done with no video or walkthrough or even manual for backup. So I was pretty pleased with my self, briefly.  Well, that’s me and my watch repair journey.    Rob
