Do you offer battery replacement for solar and kinetic watches?
Yes, we do! Solar and kinetic watches don't use traditional batteries; they use capacitors to store energy. We offer capacitor replacement services for these types of watches.
Here's how it works:
- Diagnosis: We'll first inspect your watch to confirm that the capacitor needs replacement.
- Ordering: We'll then order the same capacitor used by the manufacturer of your watch for your specific model. This may take a few days to a few weeks to arrive.
- Replacement: Once the capacitor arrives, we'll replace it efficiently.
- Charging and Testing: We require 72 hours to ensure the new capacitor is properly charged and the watch is functioning correctly under our supervision.
Important Note: The replaced capacitor should last for several months even in total darkness or without movement (depending on the watch model). However, we strongly discourage leaving your solar or kinetic watch in these conditions for extended periods, as this can shorten the capacitor's lifespan.
Please keep in mind that capacitor replacement for solar and kinetic watches requires a longer turnaround time due to the ordering and charging process.

My metal watch band is starting to look a bit grimy and I'm worried about it irritating my skin. Do you offer any cleaning services for watch bands?
Absolutely! We offer an ultrasonic cleaning service for metal watch bands for just $15. This deep cleaning method removes dirt, grime, and bacteria that can build up over time, potentially causing skin irritation or other issues. It's a great way to keep your watch band looking and feeling its best!
Is ultrasonic cleaning safe for all types of metal watch bands?
Absolutely! Ultrasonic cleaning is the same method used by professional jewelers to clean delicate jewelry. It's a safe and effective way to remove dirt, grime, and bacteria from most types of metal watch bands, including stainless steel, gold, and silver.
How often should I have my metal watch band ultrasonically cleaned?
The frequency of ultrasonic cleaning depends on your usage and the environment where you wear your watch. If you wear your watch daily and it's exposed to sweat, dirt, or lotions, you may want to consider cleaning it every 1-2 years. However, in most cases, we recommend ultrasonic cleaning no more than once every 3 years to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the band.
Can you repair vintage or antique watches?
In some cases, yes. Since most of those watches are mechanical and we do not offer mechanical watch services, we may not be able to help you on that.
Do you offer water resistance testing?
No, we do not currently offer water resistance testing but we highly recommend having it thru your watch manufacturer after the battery change or repair.
