Singapore Watch Battery Replacement

Some of the most common reasons our customers bring their watches to our repair shop include:

• Battery Replacement: This is the most frequent service for quartz watches, usually required every 1–3 years.

• Strap/Bracelet Repair or Replacement: Straps and bracelets are expected to wear over time, leading to adjustments or replacements. We stock a wide selection of high-quality straps.

• Cleaning and Lubrication: Essential for keeping the movement running smoothly, this is a standard part of routine watch maintenance.

• Mainspring Repair/Replacement: The mainspring, which powers the watch, can weaken or break over time.

• Water Damage: Even small amounts of moisture can cause severe harm to the delicate gears and components inside a watch. Water damage often leads to rust, corrosion, and malfunction. If you suspect your watch has been exposed to water, do not delay contacting our watchmakers.

• Magnetization: Exposure to magnets can disrupt timekeeping and requires demagnetization.

• Dial Restoration/Hand Replacement: Aging or damage to the dial or hands may require restoration or replacement.

A watch running fast or slow can be caused by several factors, depending on whether it is a mechanical/automatic watch or a quartz watch:

• Magnetism: Exposure to magnets (commonly found in electronic devices and everyday items) can affect the balance wheel, causing irregular timekeeping.

• Dirty Movement: Dust, dirt, or dried lubricants can interfere with the delicate parts of the movement, reducing accuracy.

• Worn or Damaged Parts: Components such as the mainspring, balance wheel, or escapement may wear down or become damaged, affecting performance.

• Shock or Vibration: Sudden impacts can disturb or damage the intricate mechanics of a watch, leading to inaccuracies.

• Lack of Servicing: Infrequent maintenance allows small issues to build up, which can compromise accuracy.

• Low Battery: In quartz watches, a weak or depleted battery can cause the watch to gain or lose time.

Even well-maintained watches may deviate from perfect accuracy due to these factors. Our experienced watchmakers will carefully diagnose the issue and provide a transparent estimate for any necessary repairs. Start your watch repair today.

Be alert for warning signs such as:

• Discoloration or rust on the hands or dial
