My 3 year old Seiko Kinetic watch has died - it will not hold the kinetic charge and stops during the night.
Considering this was a £350 watch (not mega 4 a watch I know but still....) where do I stand on getting it repaired?
I took it back to Samuels where it was bought from and they wanted £55 just to send it back to Seiko - let alone repair the flipping thing.....
I think it should have lasted a lot longer than 3 years - where do I stand when Seiko call me back with a repair quote...?
p.s I refused to pay the £55 to samuels (robbing barstwards) - they eventually agreed to send it FOC and get Seiko to quote direct.

I had chicken pox just after Christmas and didn't wear mine for 4 weeks. Dead as a dodo when I put it back on and no amount of shaking revived it.
Went out the next day and bought a TAG instead :-)

Sheesh! - I should have known better - bitten again by the Shiny Toy Syndrome - it always comes back to haunt me - a £3.99 casio would have outlived it probably
I have decided that as long as Seiko quote <£100 I will have it fixed - it isn't worth paying anymore in my view as what if it goes wrong again.......
CAVEAT EMPTOR - Scoobynet watch buyers - think twice about the shiny kit.......
