Keeping Time With Confidence
A watch isn’t just a way to tell time—it’s often a part of our daily routine, personal style, and even family history. Whether it’s a classic wristwatch passed down through generations or a modern timepiece worn every day, regular maintenance is key to keeping it working properly. At Jim’s Jewelers, we understand how important it is to keep your watch in top condition, and we’re here to help with trusted repair services you can count on.
Common Issues That Affect Watch Performance
Over time, watches can experience wear that impacts their function. From mechanical movements to battery-powered designs, all watches need service at some point. Many issues start small—like a delay in ticketing or a loose crown—but can affect accuracy and cause long-term damage if left unchecked. Common repairs include:
- Replacing or adjusting bands and clasps
- Resizing metal bracelets
- Icing broken stems, crowns, or winding mechanisms
- Repairing or replacing cracked crystals
- Water-resistance testing and gasket replacement
- Full movement servicing for automatic or mechanical models
Battery replacement is one of the most frequent services we perform, especially on quartz watches. For mechanical or automatic watches, internal cleaning and lubrication may be needed to keep all parts moving smoothly. Moisture inside the case, worn seals, or dust buildup can also cause a watch to lose time or stop working altogether. Addressing these issues early helps protect the watch and expands its lifespan.
What Happens During a Watch Repair
When you bring in a watch for service, the process starts with a detailed inspection. The watch is opened, examined, and tested to determine the source of any issues. This includes checking battery voltage, movement operation, and visual signs of wear inside the case.
For basic services, like battery replacement or strap adjustments, the turnaround time is often same- or next-day. More in-depth repairs or full movement servicing may take longer, especially when genuine parts need to be sourced to match the original design. During this time, the watch may be disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and carefully reassembled.
After the repair is completed, the watch is tested again for accuracy and performance. For water-resistant models, the case is resealed and pressure-tested to confirm protection. Our goal is to return the watch in reliable working condition—both inside and out.
