I've got the solar version…. And the capacitor failed… Replacement is too expensive
Which brand and how many months/years since purchase?
I had a kinetic several years ago and it only lasted 5 years before the capacitor shat itself. Repair was more than half the value of the watch so ditched kinetic and went solar.
no one's talking about snoopy face over at starbuy?…
Waiting to see what else comes up in the weekend sale at 6pm.
Because it pops up on a regular basis?
March is only like last week, that's regular enough for me
@Astronaut Joe: did you forget to change over the dd/mmm on your watch? ;)
i was kinda hoping those watch nerds would hype on and convince me that:
1. i really do need another watch, and
2. it looks on me
This one is solar powered with sapphire crystal and cheaper too: https://www.jomashop.com/seiko-conceptual-watch-sne529.html
Kinetics are a bit outdated now with how good solar is. I've read if you don't wear them often the capacitor (battery) will have a shorter lifespan.
Solar doesn't suffer this problem because they can still be charged without the need to wear them.
