Comparison of KC1 vs. Seiko YT-02

The KC1 has been benchmarked against the legacy Seiko YT-02 Energy Supplier. KC1 has many advantages over the YT-02:

  • Available now and supported with 2-year warranty and 10 day return policy

  • Silent operation (the YT-02 is very loud and annoying while charging)

  • Higher EMF (electro-magnetic field) power which enables faster charging with larger watches like the 5M85-0AB0 (Kinetic Tuna), 5M62-0BL0 (SKA371-BFK), and enables charging of the 5D22-0AB0 Titanium Diver (the YT-02 will not charge this watch due to insufficient EMF)

  • Four selectable charging intervals: 30 minutes, and 1, 2, 4 hours vs. YT-02 only offers 30min and 3.5hr

  • 40% smaller footprint on your desktop
