Whether you’ve been taking care of your grandfather’s antique pocket watch for years or you’re always up-to-date on the latest luxury models on the market, watch repairs are more common than people think.
Even the simplest of watches can contain 130 different components, each playing a key role in the overall function, design, and performance of the watch itself.
If even one of those components isn’t working properly, the watch can malfunction and will need to be repaired. But, you might be surprised to learn that the most common watch repairs really aren’t all that complicated.
In fact, some of the most popular repairs can often feel more like watch maintenance or basic services to keep the device operating smoothly.
Far too often, people’s watches stop working or become worn, and they assume there’s a major issue, but that typically isn’t the case. Don’t automatically assume that it will cost a lot of money or take a lot of time to get your watch properly prepared. As you’ll see in the infographic below, something as simple as a band or battery replacement isn’t uncommon, and can take a matter of minutes to fix.
A visit to your local watch or jewelry store can make it easy to not only diagnose any issues with your watch but to fix them quickly – many times without you even having to leave the premises.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the most common watch repairs people often ask for, and how they are typically handled.
