Repairs, batteries, straps & clocks

How do I know if my watch needs repair or just a new battery?

If a quartz watch stopped suddenly, the battery is the most common reason. If it still doesn't work after a new battery, or if hands are loose or the crown is broken, it needs a repair. We check it at the counter and tell you which one it is.

Do you repair watches of all brands?

We repair most everyday brands, including Titan, Sonata, Fastrack, Casio, Timex, Maxima and HMT. For some luxury watches, or watches that need original parts only the brand supplies, we may recommend the brand's authorised service centre.

How long does a watch repair take?

Small jobs are often done the same day. Repairs that need a part can take longer, and we'll give you a realistic time when you drop the watch off.

Will you tell me the price before repairing?

Yes. We check the watch first, explain the problem and give you the price. Work only starts after you agree.

How long does watch battery replacement take?

Usually just a few minutes. Most customers wait at the shop while we change it.

How often should a watch battery be changed?

A typical quartz watch battery lasts about 1.5 to 3 years, depending on the watch and its features. Watches with lights, alarms or chronographs can use batteries faster.

Should I remove a dead battery from my watch?

Yes. Leaving a dead battery inside for a long time can leak and damage the movement. Get it replaced soon after the watch stops.

Can you replace the battery in a water-resistant watch?

Yes. We check the gasket and close the back carefully. Water resistance can't be fully guaranteed after any opening, so avoid swimming with an older watch.

Can you make my metal watch chain smaller?

Yes. We remove links to fit your wrist and keep the removed links for you in case you need them later.

How do I know which strap size fits my watch?

The strap width is the gap between the lugs, measured in millimetres (commonly 16, 18, 20 or 22 mm). Bring the watch and we'll measure it and fit the right size.

Do you have straps for all watches?

We stock common widths and styles. For unusual or brand-specific straps, call us first so we can check what's available.

Should I keep wearing a watch with cracked glass?

It's better not to. Dust and moisture can get in through the crack and damage the dial or movement. Get the glass replaced as soon as you can.

Is glass replacement done the same day?

Often, yes, when a matching glass is in stock. Uncommon sizes or shapes may take a little longer.

How often should a watch be serviced?

Have a quartz watch checked whenever you change the battery. Mechanical and automatic watches generally benefit from a full service every few years.

Can you service an old family watch?

Bring it in and we'll check it. Many older watches can be brought back to life. If yours needs specialist work, we'll tell you honestly.

Do you repair old mechanical or antique clocks?

We mainly repair quartz wall, table and alarm clocks. For very old mechanical or key-wound clocks, call us first and we'll tell you whether we can help.

My wall clock stopped even after a new battery. Can it be fixed?

Yes, usually. The quartz movement (machine) has probably worn out. We can replace it and keep your clock's original dial and frame.

Do I need to bring the whole wall clock?

Yes, please bring the whole clock so we can match the movement and hands to its dial and frame.

Is it cheaper to buy a watch online?

Not always. Many of our customers find our prices compare well with online prices. You also get to see the watch in person, get it sized, and have a local shop for after-sales help.

Do you have watches for kids?

Yes. We have kids' digital and analog watches that are easy to read and comfortable to wear.

Do you have silent wall clocks that don't tick?

Yes. We have sweep-movement (silent) wall clocks that are good for bedrooms and study rooms.

Is a wall clock a good housewarming gift?

Yes. Wall clocks are one of the most popular housewarming and office-opening gifts in Ahmedabad. We can help you pick a design that suits the home.

Will you fit the strap if I buy it from you?

Yes. We fit straps and chains at the shop when you buy them.

Do you take bulk orders for corporate or Diwali gifts?

Yes. Call us with the quantity and budget and we'll suggest options and confirm availability.

What is a good watch gift for Raksha Bandhan?

A stylish analog or smart-looking digital watch is a popular Raksha Bandhan gift for brothers and sisters. Visit us and we'll show you options in your budget.
