Hi When received mine I had to replace the battery. I found that the round plastic shroud, needs to be just in the right position. This will allow the buttons to depress far enoght thus allowing the contacts to connect |

I was just asking myself..how long does a watch made in the 80's work? Is it possible that a digital japanese watch is working my entire life? Seiko doesn't produce any digital watches anymore.... so who is able to repair a watch which was in the 80's cheap and now more than expensive and rare  ?

Necro Bump! I have 2 Pulsemeters, the S229 and the S234 I only paid about $50 each for them. The S229 I suspect has a dead battery and the S234 has a few portions of the digits missing, see mock up photo below: Attachment: pulsemeter display issue.jpg [ 16.64 KiB | Viewed 7614 times ] While searching for replacement parts I came across this site, they apparently offer LCD replacements for Seiko watches. I emailed them using their contact form to ask if they had any screens for my S234 but I haven't heard back. I'm posting this for others to try their luck in emailing or even calling. http://focuslcds.com/replacement-lcd-displays/ Can anyone show how to correctly change the battery and remove the original watch straps? I just bought 5 batteries, they should be here in about a week. Let's try to get as much watch repair info as we can in here to warrant a sticky  Also, thanks to Harry Harris, here is the S234 Instruction booklet: Attachment: Pulsemeter Instructions.jpg [ 1.31 MiB | Viewed 7614 times ] |

I do know that you have to do a reset after changing the battery. This one had me stumped after I changed the battery. I thought I killed the watch. |

An LCD with missing segments, you're pretty much SOL. Moosh, does the stopwatch function display good? If so, you can turn it into a good Tracer Wrist Unit. |

Youtube tells me it could be that there's poor connection with the contacts, either they're dirty or not touching properly. Has anyone opened up a Seiko Pulsemeter that far? I'd love to get it fixed but I want to know what I'm getting into before I open it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTulo_SIE6E http://www.instructables.com/id/Repair- ... /?ALLSTEPS |

To remove/swap the strap, you just need a tool like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/BABAN-Spring-Remo ... 00XKMX0Z2/ To remove the sprung pins holding the strap:

I'm assuming the back of the case needs to come off to get to the pins, I don't even see where you can get to them unless you remove it first. |

Spring bars are mini pistons, they are opened with the above tool, or carefully using an x-acto. Case back is opened using a small screwdriver PH000. It a takes a 2016 coin battery. The fluke connection in the youtube is poorly designed. The seiko is not done that way. |
