Show all 33How to choose a watch repair shop
- For watches still under warranty, use the brand's authorised service centre. Third-party opening can void the warranty.
- Independent watchmakers can be good value for older or out-of-warranty mechanical watches. Ask what genuine parts they can get.
- Ask for a diagnosis and written quote before work starts, with the expected turnaround.
- After a battery change on a water-resistant watch, ask for a pressure test and a new gasket if needed.
- Photograph your watch and note its serial number before handing it over.
Red flags
- No receipt or job ticket recording your watch's model and condition.
- Unclear quotes that only say 'full service' without listing the work.
- Replacing original parts with generic ones without telling you.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do you use genuine parts for this brand?
- Is there a warranty on the service?
- Will you pressure-test water resistance?
Questions about watch repair in Singapore
How often should a mechanical watch be serviced?
Service intervals vary by brand and movement. Many manufacturers recommend a full service every 5 to 10 years, sooner if the watch gains or loses time noticeably or has been exposed to water or knocks. Quartz watches mainly need battery changes and gasket checks.
Should I go to the brand service centre or an independent watchmaker?
Brand service centres use genuine parts and keep your warranty intact, but often cost more and take weeks. Independent watchmakers can be quicker and cheaper for out-of-warranty watches. Ask about parts access and warranty, and check reviews.
What can I do if a repair shop damages my watch?
Raise it with the shop in writing with your job ticket and photos taken before handover. If you cannot settle, CASE can help with mediation, and the Small Claims Tribunals hear consumer claims of up to $20,000.
