New battery but still not working?
A fresh 1 × SR621SW should restore Seiko Cal. 7N01 if the battery was the problem. Work through the checks below before replacing the device.
- Check the battery type
This device needs 1 × SR621SW (silver_oxide). Same size does not always mean the same battery.
- Check known model-specific issues
Confirm the calibre number stamped on the caseback — Seiko reuses model families across calibers. Seiko Kinetic / solar / secondary-cell calibers are excluded from this disposable CR/SR publish set.
- Confirm the battery itself
For most coin cells, fitting a known-good fresh cell of the correct code is simpler than capacity testing.
- Still not responding?
If a correct, fresh battery installed properly does not restore the device, the fault may be elsewhere — the device may need service or replacement.
