Review: Reliable Replacement for Seiko Kinetic Watches – Know Your Caliber First - The Seiko 3023-5MZ is a genuine replacement capacitor (technically a rechargeable lithium-ion battery) used in many Seiko Kinetic watches. It consists of a Maxell TC920S cell with custom connector plates designed to fit specific Seiko movement calibers. It operates at 1.5V, with a diameter of 9.5 mm and height of 2.05 mm 1. It is compatible with a wide range of Seiko Kinetic calibers, including: 5M22, 5M23, 5M25, 5M42, 5M43, 5M45, 5M47 5M54, 5M62, 5M63, 5M65, 5M82, 5M83, 5M84, 5M85 1 ✅ Pros: Genuine Seiko part – Ensures proper fit and function with supported calibers. Improves power reserve – Restores charging capability in older kinetic watches. Easy to find online – Available from specialty battery retailers and watch part suppliers. Includes connector plates – No soldering required for most installations. Cost-effective fix – Much cheaper than sending the watch in for full service. ⚠️ Cons: Not universal – Only fits specific Seiko calibers; always check your watch’s movement number. Requires careful installation – May need a watch case opener and steady hands. Confusing naming – Sometimes listed under alternate part numbers like 3023-5MY or 3029-113 1. Not a true capacitor – Technically a rechargeable battery, which may degrade over time like any lithium-ion cell. 🧾 Final Verdict: The Seiko 3023-5MZ is a trusted and effective replacement for many Seiko Kinetic watches suffering from poor charge retention. It’s a great DIY solution for restoring functionality, as long as you confirm compatibility with your watch’s movement. While not a universal fix, it’s a reliable part that can breathe new life into your timepiece.
Review: This is one of those Don't Leave Home Without It things. - I just bought a 1990's era Seiko Kinetic watch a couple of weeks ago, knowing in advance that it wasn't running. It's add copy didn't state there was any damage, but offered it for repair or parts. It appeared to be in beautiful condition, with a perfect dial face, perfect hands, and the matching titanium and gold colored bracelet. The bracelet showed no wear and even included a spare link to enlarge the bracelet if needed. I already have a Seiko automatic (5 series) and a Chinese knock-off, both automatic self-winding movements. What drew my attention to the Kinetic is the fact that this series of self-wind Seiko watches has an oscillating rotor, just like the other automatic mechanical movements, but instead of the rotor winding up a traditional main spring in a barrel, it turns a miniature "rotor and stator", like an alternator in a car. This little charging system charges a capacitor, which in this case looks like a typical watch button cell, but with small power-out and power-in lugs. The charged capacitor provides the electrical current to operate the watch's quartz time-keeping circuit and a stepper motor to move the watch's hands. This system combines the best of both worlds: A physical charging system powered by the movement of your arm/body, feeding a quartz watch circuit that keeps even better time than just about any mechanical watch movement! No batteries used or needed! I do watch repair so installing the replacement capacitor was very easy. But anyone can do this; all that's needed is a steady hand, a tiny regular tipped screwdriver and the capacitor kit. Although there is one thing some Seiko owners might need and not have and that depends of whether the last time the watch's screw-back case cover was removed and replaced, that it wasn't screwed back down so tightly that it can't easily be removed either by hand, a rubber ball case-back remover or careful "persuasion" with a piece of wood and a small mallet or hammer tool. It this is the case, a case-back removal tool will be needed. If you don't have one of these tools you can order one on line when the capacitor is ordered. The price for both is very likely to be less than any jeweler will charge to do this repair. As for the capacitor kit? Well, it was made by Seiko, fit perfectly and is working great!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: hi,is this item is compatible for model 5M62 seiko kinetic gold wrest watch,let me know please.**
A: Hi.  I have installed over 200 Capacitors in Seiko watches over the past 12 years.  Succinctly: Yes, the 3023-5MZ will work fine in the 5M62 Caliber.  If I may save you from 2 common mistakes.
NEVER check a Seiko Capacitor with a battery tester.  NEVER.    And when you install the capacitor there is a single screw that holds the rotor (pendulum) and it has a VERY thin slot.  I use a single edge razor blade I have snapped in half.  But do NOT press down on that screw.  It will push the hands into the crystal, and the watch is ruined.  Turn the screw while holding the pendulum in a fixed position, but do not press down.  I have left some advice on Fixya if you want to save some headache/heartache.  It seems like it should be easy to replace a battery/capacitor.  It isn't.
A LOT of people have watched a few YouTube videos and thought they could DIY, but ended up sending me their watch to install the capacitor.  I repair them for free because I love the Kinetics and want to keep them going.
   And do NOT put a common watch battery in a Kinetic. They are not meant to be recharged.

**Q: Is this compatible to model 5M42-OM29?**
A: Sure is. It will work with any model starting with 5M42. Here's a video for opening a watch and replacing the capacitor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSNSvP0uv1o It's the video I used as reference on my watch.

**Q: hello, I just bought and installed this capacitor and the watch doesn't seem to be responsive after shaking, how can I check if it worked?**
A: The most effective technique of trouble shooting capacitor installation is a fresh install.  Remove the capacitor and completely discharge the watch, then install the new capacitor.  In most cases this corrects the issue.

**Q: Does the mt920 battery available for seyko kinetic (model 5j32-0ap0)?**
A: I'm not sure but it doesn't look like it.  In Amazon's product description it says that model capacitor is for Seiko models 5M42, 5M43, 5M22, 5M23.  I'm not familiar with the model number you mention.
