Quartz watches also need overhauls! If you're looking for watch repair services in the Yoyogi area, leave it to Comptoine!

To ensure that your precious watch lasts a long time, it is necessary to have it overhauled periodically. For mechanical watches, it is recommended to have it overhauled every 3 to 5 years, and for quartz watches, it is recommended to have it overhauled about once every 8 to 10 years if you regularly change the battery.

Do quartz watches also need to be overhauled?

Quartz watches also require overhauls.

Quartz watches are often thought to require less maintenance than mechanical watches because they are battery-powered, but in fact they are precision machines with tiny gears and electronic components inside.

A watch uses lubricating oil inside, and over the years of use, this oil deteriorates and dirt accumulates. Humidity and dust can also cause rust and wear to parts. Continuing to use a watch in this condition can lead to problems such as the time becoming out of sync or the battery draining faster.

Even for quartz watches, having an overhaul (disassembly, cleaning, and oiling) every few years will reset the internal condition and extend the life of the watch. Regular maintenance is also important in preventing breakdowns.

To ensure that you can use your favorite watch comfortably for a long time, we recommend that you have your quartz watch overhauled regularly.

Leaving a dead battery can cause a malfunction!

Quartz watches are powered by batteries, but leaving the battery dead for a long period of time can cause unexpected malfunctions.

For example, if you leave the battery in the watch after it has completely died, it may leak. If the battery leaks, it can corrode and short-circuit the electronic circuits and parts inside the watch, and the problem cannot be fixed without an overhaul.

It is especially important to take action early if it is a favorite watch or a model that is no longer available, before major damage occurs.

The battery life is generally about 2 to 3 years.
If your watch stops and you leave it for several years, the risk of it breaking down increases. By making an effort to have your watch inspected regularly and change the battery early, you can keep using your precious watch for a long time.
