I have a V172-OANO Seiko Chronograph Solar watch that was given to me. Thanks so much for your video. I opened the back and ordered the battery, which will be here in a few days I was told by a jeweler that the watch didn't have a battery in it because it was solar -powered and if putting it under light for 72 hours didn't work he would "go into it" for $150..
Hola, tengo un Seiko solar calibre V172 y quisiera cambiar el cristal pues de me rompió. Necesito quitar la tija para dejar solo la caja. Agradecería si me enseñara cómo hacerlo.
@@foksapet if you can get the exact measurements you might be able to order a generic replacement. I’ve been able to find third party crystals (for a different Seiko) from crystaltimes.net
@@mustafayalgin aynı sorun bende de var. Kışın özellikle çalışmıyor. Alalı daha 3 yıl falan oldu. bir çözüm bulabildiniz mi? ben bataryayı değiştirmeyi planlıyorum.
@@mevlut.celikbas uzun süre ışıksız kalması problem yaratır. İki gün ışık altında tutun dönerse döner yoksa pil değiştireceksiniz. 🙂 Ben şu an benim saatimin Pilini söktüm pil alacağım 10 yıl dayandı arada sırada gitti 2-3 gün ışık altında tuttum geldi. artık öldü
My children can change a watch battery. It’s easier than changing the oil on a car. Take off the base back, swap the battery, replace the gasket (maybe) and screw the case back on. Who would pay for that training? 😂

How can you tell whether it's just the battery or something else wrong with the watch?
where Can I order the batteries and the gasket of Seiko V172?
Great educational video!
I have this exact watch with the same movement. Do you happen to have the quartz battery with terminal part number?
how long was life span of the first battery?
I don’t even know 10 years?
I have the same model v172 0ag0.
Have problems finding crystal and back gaskets.
I need part number which I don't have.
Can you help?
Thanks mate
Excelente información yo tengo un Seiko V172 0AL0 y para cambiar la batería me cuesta casi 80 dólares .... Muchas Gracias

Where do you buy your gaskets by any chance? I have a V172-0AJ0 and can’t seem to find any gaskets for it online.
I usually get them through watch part sellers like Esslinger.com
thanks for this advice
a new shop is allways wellcome
unfortunately i'm still unable to find a glass for my v172-ag0

Çalışmayan bir solar seiko’nuz var ise Pil değiştirmeden önce saatinize reset atmanızı öneririm,muhtemelen çalışacaktır.
Aynı saat bende var ışık altında 2 gün dolduruyorum en fazla 1 hafta içerisinde bitiyor normalde 6 ay gider.

damn dude, you need some training on how to replace a battery. Truly a horrible job.
