There are a wide variety problems that can cause your watch to stop working. The watch repair expert at Jewelry Clinic—a jewelry store selling custom jewelry and engagement rings in Rochester, NY—says understanding the cause of the problem is key to fixing it. According to this jeweler, the good news is once the root cause is determined, watch repairs are often relatively simple and straightforward.

Here are five situations that could cause your watch to stop working properly:

  • Crown Is In The Wrong Position: The crown is the knob used to set your watch. If it's been accidentally nudged into the wrong position, this could cause your watch to stop running. 
  • Dead Battery: Your watch needs a functioning battery to deliver consistent and reliable performance, and if your watch's battery has expired, it will no longer display the correct time. Watch batteries sometimes fail long before they should, so when making a battery purchase, it's important to choose one with a warranty. Jewelry Clinic provides a one-year warranty on all watch batteries sold. 
  • Internal Moisture: If moisture has made its way inside your watch, it could harm any delicate components. This kind of damage can occur if the watch is submerged or exposed to liquids. 
  • Physical Damage: Many watches are quite sturdy. Still, a harsh jolt can sometimes cause damage that requires watch repair. 
  • Battery Leak: Regular maintenance keeps your timepiece functioning at its best and helps you avoid expensive watch repairs. If maintenance has been neglected for several years, your watch might develop a battery leak that will compromise its performance. 

Jewelry Clinic provides impeccable non-mechanical watch repair you can count on, and owner Bob Colombo can mend jewelry from any maker. Call (585) 232-5920 to schedule a personal appointment, or learn more by visiting this Rochester-based jeweler online
