Maintenance Advice
When a quartz watch stops ticking, the typical solution is to replace the battery. However, if you own a luxury watch, the process is not so simple. You cannot simply take it to your local market. As the Marketeer there likely lacks the experience and knowledge to handle luxury Swiss watches. Unlike other watches, Swiss watches require resealing and pressure testing when opened in order to maintain water resistance. If a Swiss watch is opened without undergoing these processes, all the protective seals are broken, allowing dirt, dust, and moisture to enter the watch. These contaminants can cause significant damage to the internal mechanism and ultimately lead to an expensive watch servicing bill. Hence, it is always best to get the Certina watch battery replacement done professionally, as this can delay the service intervals and save you money in the long run.
EOL (end of life) 4 second tick
If you're wondering why your watch is ticking every 4 seconds, it's likely because your top quality quartz watch uses an ETA mechanism that has an EOL (end of life) indicator. This feature is in place to alert you when the battery life is coming to an end. The watch seconds hand will jump in 4 second intervals to let you know that it's time to replace the battery.
It's important to replace the battery promptly to decrease the risk of potential damage caused by battery leakage, which remains the primary reason why Quartz watches may require servicing. Even top quality Swiss batteries are susceptible to leaking, and even cheap quality batteries can leak while they still have battery life. Thus, it's crucial to use professionals who use the best materials to provide quality watch repairs.
Finding the "cheapest" option may save you money in the short term, but it can cost you more down the line. Keep in mind that regular maintenance is crucial for your watch and is a better solution than waiting for potential damage or issues to arise.
We offer a new Premium watch battery option that guarantees a 100% leak-proof battery, so you need not worry about the battery leaking into your watch. Opting for this option will extend the battery's life and delay watch servicing. Remember, in the world we live in, you pay for what you get, so choose quality over savings.
When it comes to timepieces, there is nothing quite like automatic watches. They operate on a very sophisticated mechanism that does not rely on electric currents to function. Instead, it uses a complex network of mechanical parts that work together to keep the watch ticking accurately. As the wearer walks or moves around, the self-winding rotor in the watch powers it, making it a very efficient and elegant timekeeping device.
Mechanical watches certainly have a unique charm to them, and their intricate workings are a testament to true craftsmanship. However, keeping accurate time is not their strong suit. Most automatic watches have a tolerance of plus/minus 15 seconds per day, which means that the time may need to be adjusted periodically. Constant adjustments over time can even cause damage to the screw-down crown of the watch, which is vital for maintaining water resistance. Though most quartz watches don't use the crown frequently, the wear and tear demands that it be replaced when it wears down.
At times, watches may even lose or gain time significantly throughout the day, making the watch inaccurate. One possible solution to this is to regulate the timekeeping. Instead of going for a full Certina watch servicing. Which involves a thorough strip-down of the internal mechanism and replacement of worn-out parts. This option involves making minor adjustments to the watch's internal workings so that it falls within tolerable limits. Once the adjustments are made, the watch is resealed and should keep proper time.
Frequent use of the same watch can lead to complications caused by wear and tear. Among the typical issues are light scratches and the build-up of dirt between the links, which trap dead skin cells, sweat and other debris. This accumulation of dirt between the links can cause corrosion of the pins, resulting in a weaker bracelet. Fortunately, ultrasonic cleaning offers a simple solution that removes all trapped dirt and restores the watch's shine.
As time goes on, watch bracelets are likely to acquire surface scratches, particularly on the clasp, which is the most visible component of the bracelet. For watches that have two tones and contrasting finishes, scratches can diminish the distinction in tone. This is why a full watch polishing service can be an excellent option for bringing the watch back to its original condition. This service is effective in removing scratches from most surfaces of the watch, and it also renews the two-tone finishes, transforming the look of the watch.

Certina Pressure Test
To ensure that a watch is water-resistant, it is imperative to carry out pressure testing. This process can identify any potential issues that could cause moisture to penetrate the watch. There are several reasons why moisture can penetrate a watch, including worn-out and deteriorated gaskets around the crown, glass, or case back, and poor conditions of the crown or glass. Therefore, pressure testing is an essential aspect of maintaining a watch's integrity.
Watch owners who frequently swim or engage in water sports should be particularly diligent about pressure testing their timepieces. Failure to do so can result in significant damage and financial loss. Moisture penetration can cause several hundred or even thousands of pounds in damages. Hence, regular pressure testing can be a worthwhile investment to prevent such issues.
Certina Watch Cleaning
On a daily basis, watches come into contact with dirt, and debris starts to accumulate particularly between the links and clasp. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to get your watch cleaned regularly as it helps maintain the life of the watch bracelet and prevents dirt from corroding the pins that hold the bracelet together. Our ultrasonic watch cleaner is perfect for removing all accumulated dirt from your watch, leaving it shiny as new and extending its lifespan by preventing the risk of corrosion.

In order to keep your watch safe and secure, it's important to take regular preventative action and change out these weaker elements before it's too late.
