How often should I service my watch?
It depends on the brand and usage, but most mechanical and automatic watches benefit from servicing every 3 to 5 years. Birmingham watch repairers will inspect your watch and let you know if it’s time. Regular servicing helps catch minor issues early and avoids costly future repairs.
Can you replace watch batteries while I wait?

Do watch repair services affect the value of luxury watches?
When done properly, servicing preserves — and often enhances — value. Using genuine parts and sticking to brand guidelines is key. Sunrise jewellers in Birmingham are careful to maintain authenticity and will advise if any repair could affect resale or collectability.

Is my watch still waterproof after a battery change or repair?
