Common Watch Repair Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Repairing watches requires patience, precision, and the right tools. However, beginners — and even some professionals — often make mistakes that damage delicate components.
At Forjax Tools Pakistan, we supply precision watch repair kits that help minimize these risks. Here’s a guide to the most common watch repair mistakes and how you can avoid them.
🔹 Mistake 1: Using Household Tools Instead of Professional Ones
- Problem: Using knives, pins, or pliers instead of proper watch tools can scratch cases, strip screws, or damage movements.
- Solution: Always use a dedicated watch repair kit with case openers, spring bar tools, and precision screwdrivers.

🔹 Mistake 2: Applying Too Much Force
- Problem: Forcing open a case back or pushing components too hard often leads to breakage.
- Solution: Use the correct size tool and apply gentle, steady pressure instead of force.
🔹 Mistake 3: Losing Small Parts
- Problem: Watch screws and spring bars are tiny and easy to lose.
- Solution: Work on a non-slip mat and keep a parts tray nearby.
🔹 Mistake 4: Ignoring Dust and Cleanliness
- Problem: Dust or fingerprints inside the case can damage movements.
- Solution: Always clean your tools and workspace before repair, and consider using anti-static tweezers.
🔹 Mistake 5: Not Testing the Watch After Repair
- Problem: Some beginners forget to test the watch after battery replacement or strap changes.
- Solution: Always check the timekeeping, waterproof sealing, and strap security before wearing.
