I gave up on Seiko Kinetics and gave mine away (not this model). The worst of both worlds in my opinion. A pointless idea Seiko should have dropped years ago. Could never get mine charged up past 'about to die', even if I shook it for literally hours on end. Kinetics won't' charge up on watch winders, either. Might be okay of you wear the same watch every day nonstop, but I'd avoid kinetics for occasional wear. Just my ten cents worth.

The ones I've had have been great...but, yeah, yours was bad so I'll make sure Seiko folds the Kinetic division. Too bad they don't honor their warrantee...oh they do? Huh...

You need an "swinging" winder like an Orbita or Rapport London for a kinetic (A bit expensive, but worth it). Or buy the rotor cup assembly (includes the watch pillow) from Orbita ($39) and use an Arduino + stepper motor to make your own.

Do a search for "Kinetic watch winder" in Ebay or Etsy. They both have rotating winders that allow the Seiko watch pendulum to charge the battery. One hour of using wider keeps the watch ticking for a bit more than one week.
