Seiko 1N00 movement, any known issues??

[TC@TOWS]

Just had to order my 4th one of these,  two have worked intermittently and the latest one didn't work at all. Cousins have a no return policy so was wondering has anyone else had issues with this movement? Thanks!

If you’re always ordering from the same place, maybe you’re getting them all from the same faulty batch?

 

try ordering one from somewhere else to see if it’s any different

is this for the same watch each time?

Really ?. Don't think that would hold up to consumer law.

Any Faulty product can and should be reutrned. I think they mean you cannot return if you do not use it.

Check again for the terms and conditions.

Ther website states 'Cousins have a non returns policy on watch parts and watch movements. Watch manufacturers do not accept movements back as faulty. They state that it was not in this condition or faulty at the time of purchase / supply (basically saying if it is faulty then it was damaged by the customer). These restrictions are placed upon Cousins by the manufacturers. As a trade wholesale business to business supplier we unfortunately have to apply the same terms and conditions'

So how can they prove it was in full working order when sent ?.

Well luckily we do not do watch repairs, but if we did I would not be buying from them.

Trading laws and consumer laws are different, they can, and do, refuse to accept returns.

Most likely a tiny bend in the hands, rubbing against the glass and stopping it periodically rather than faulty movements. Highly unlikely all of the movements you’ve had are faulty.

Yes considered that and tested it before putting it back in the case. Anyway, got another one from Gleave and its working perfectly. Thanks all!

You know where to go next time then.

always try it running for 24 hours before putting into case, that way if there is a problem the customer never knows about it
