Tissot Quartz Repair

Luxury Quartz watches are accurate and fairly easy to maintain. They are battery operated and usually only require a battery change and cleaning to perform well, but if your Tissot Quartz watch begins to run through batteries, faster than expected or if it stops and starts erratically, it mat be time to have it overhauled. Overhauling a Quartz watch movement should always be done by a trained professional, or by the manufacturer. Here is a list of considerations, when thinking about having your watch overhauled:
1. How old is your quartz watch? In some cases, depending on the age of the watch and its original cost, you may be advised to replace it, rather than having it overhauled.
2. In general, an overhaul of a quartz model will run you about $70-$90, but if additional parts are needed, this cost can rise, substantially. Weigh the value of the watch against the cost to maintain it.
3. Overhauling a quartz watch involves disassembling it and inspecting for damage. The inside of the watch will be cleaned of any build up, which is present, and any damaged components would be replaced.
4. Overhauling your quartz watch can be very cost effective, unless you have some damage to the movement, in this case you will have to make a determination on how to proceed.
5. Once the watch is overhauled, the watch maker will re-seal and re-test the piece, to ensure its water resistance.
Overhauling your quartz watches can extend the life, but you must weigh the cost with the value of the piece.
