Frequently Asked Questions

What watch brands do you stock?

We are authorised dealers of quality watch brands, such as Adina, Sekonda and stockists of premium watch brand Edox.
What causes watches to stop working?

A watch can stop for a few different reasons. If it's battery-operated, it can be due to a flat battery, which can be easily fixed on the spot. At Coastal Clocks & Watches, we stock a wide range of batteries for all brands. if the issue is more than a battery, we offer no obligation free quotes for the part needed to get your watch running again.
What causes an automatic watch to lose time?

Automatic watches are manufactured with self-winding mechanisms. To troubleshoot any issues, please bring your watch into our store, or call us for our mailing address if you'd prefer to send it via post.
How long do watch repairs take?

It depends on the problem. If it's a battery or band repair, we can usually do it while you wait. If it's a part we need to order it can take a little longer.
How often should automatic watches be serviced?

Most watch manufacturers recommend having your automatic watch serviced every 4 - 5 years. We offer no obligation free quotes and can book your watch in to be assessed by our watchmakers.
How often do I need to change the battery in my watch?

Most watch batteries should last between 18 - 36 months, however watches with higher consumption that have multiple functions may be less if those functions get used regularly. We would recommend not leaving a battery in a watch longer than 4 years if it is still working or as soon as it stops to avoid the battery leaking and causing corrosion.

What Is The Difference Between A Self - Winding And Manual - Winding Movement?

Manual Wind (Mechanical) Watch Movement

There are no batteries required to power this movement. It is completely driven by the mainspring, which is wound by hand. Then, because of the series of gears and other components, this tension is slowly released, driving the tiny gears that are responsible for the watch’s movement.

This spring needs to be wound up on a daily basis, though you may have to set the time again if it goes too long without being wound. The watch needs to be wound until resistance is felt.

Automatic Watch Movement

Rather than requiring manual winding every day, an automatic (or self-winding) watch uses a special rotor that is attached to the watch’s movement to keep the mainspring wound tight.

The addition of a set of weighted gears and ball bearings can wind the spring with nothing more than your natural arm and wrist movements.

If you don’t wear the watch for a few days, you’ll need to reset the time when you put it back on. Some automatic watches can also be manually wound if they haven’t been worn for some time to give them a boost.

Some other things to keep in mind is that automatic and mechanical watches can sometimes be slightly less accurate than quartz watches since environmental changes can affect the movement.

Quartz Watch Movement

Quartz movements are battery. Using the vibrations of the quartz inside it to move watch’s components.

Quartz vibrates tens of thousands of times per second, which creates a signal with a very precise frequency. When you run an electrical current through that, a constant frequency can be measured by a circuit and converted into one pulse per second.

This is what makes the movement so accurate.

These watches have fewer moving parts which makes them a great choice for regular use since there’s less chance of them being damaged during regular activities.

Some Quartz watches are powered by a capacitor, which is charged by the sun or movement. Over time like any rechargeable battery, they can stop holding charge as well and require replacement.
