Automatic Watch Not Keeping Time? 5 Common Issues and How We Fix Them
Automatic watches combine precision engineering and timeless craftsmanship, but even the best timepieces can sometimes run into issues keeping accurate time. At Total Watch Repair, we frequently encounter these common problems and expertly address them to restore your watch to its best condition.
1. Power Reserve Depletion
Automatic watches rely on your natural wrist movements to wind themselves. If worn infrequently, the watch may stop due to depleted power reserves. We recommend regular wear or using a watch winder. At Total Watch Repair, we can service your watch's winding mechanism to ensure optimal performance.
2. Magnetization
Exposure to magnetic fields, from everyday items like electronics or magnetic clasps, can cause your watch to run fast or slow. Our trained technicians use specialized demagnetizing equipment to quickly and safely restore your watch's accuracy.
3. Mechanical Wear and Tear
Over time, internal components such as gears and springs wear down, affecting accuracy. Regular servicing is essential to address this natural wear. At Total Watch Repair, we perform meticulous inspections and replacements of worn components to restore precise timekeeping.
4. Balance Wheel Issues
The balance wheel is critical in regulating your watch’s accuracy. If it's misaligned or damaged due to impact or shock, your watch will lose accuracy. Our watchmakers carefully examine, realign, or replace balance wheels to restore proper function.
5. Lubrication and Cleaning
Automatic watches require periodic lubrication and cleaning. Accumulated dust and dried lubricants can significantly impact accuracy. At Total Watch Repair, we expertly disassemble, clean, lubricate, and reassemble your watch, ensuring smooth and accurate operation.
