Common Watch Repair Problems

Seiko watches are well-made and generally last for years without issue. Yet, every watch, no matter how well-made, may require some maintenance or repair over the years. In fact, many people only allow a watch repair person to change the watch battery or replace a watch band and do not attempt either task themselves.

Common repair issues that occur:

  • Watch stops running for unknown reason
  • The watch battery dies and needs replacement
  • Crack or bad scratch in the watch face crystal
  • Watch band wears out and rips or loosens
  • Feature, such as a date or alarm, stops functioning properly
  • Water gets inside the watch

When repair is necessary, Seiko watch owners now consider visiting the local watch repair at the Mall or finding a Seiko authorized dealer.

Seiko Watch Repair Recommendations

Seiko of America, the North American branch of the Seiko Watch Corporation, recommends that customers only purchase watches and have their watches repaired by Seiko authorized dealers. The company provides a list of authorized dealers on the official Seiko website.
