One day I looked at my watch and realized it wasn’t working. I thought to get it repaired but at the same time I felt that I should buy a new one.
You might have gone through such circumstances once in your life. Repairing a watch is better idea or getting a new one is much exciting? Whatever! Both the options have their own merits and demerits.
When we talk about repairing a watch, we think on saving our money. After getting a watch repaired, it starts working like before. Another biggest thing you get while repairing it is that you don’t have to throw away your watch outside if your watch has some sentimental value to you, you can keep it with you and wear it regularly. Make sure to get it repaired by an experienced technician. Most of the time watch receives scratches on its body when you give it for repairing. Sometimes, local technicians replace the original parts with low quality ones which do not work for long and provide damage to the watch as well. Watch is worth repairing if the watch repair cost is less than the replacement cost.
Whereas, buying a new watch is always exciting. You can get a watch in latest colour, design and style. You can add style to your persona by wearing a watch matching to the colour of your attire. New watch offers you guarantee of 1 or 2 years, depending on the range, price and brand of the watch. Buying a new watch demands huge amount of money and going for an expensive one will disturb your monthly budget as well.
So, unless your watch can not be repaired and do not recuperate working condition like before, avoid buying a new watch. If you really want to buy a new one, keep a check on its cost while focusing on its style and design.
