Total Watch Repair

I would like to say that I much prefer 2010 Seiko Watches from this Seiko UC-2000 from 1984. Spotted from a post on gizmodo.

Enjoy!

From Fossil watches to Swiss Army, Total Watch Repair is one of the last, reliable services in the business you can depend on to meet your “timely” needs.

In this modern age of cellphones, most people believe that watches have become obsolete in this fast-paced society where convenience is king. But watches are more than just relics of the past, they are in fact more convenient than the cellphone wedged in your pocket or stuffed underneath the contents of your purse. And a good watch does more than simply provide the wearer with the time, it’s a piece of your overall wardrobe; the final touch that distinguishes you from everyone else. Watches are hardly antiquaries of a past era, so think twice the next time you decide to leave your broken Seiko on the nightstand. You may have heard the phrase, “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” Well, if your watch is broken, Total Watch Repair can fix it for you.

Sometimes, when the minuscule details in life go awry, it can seem that there’s no reasonable solution in sight. Take watch batteries for example. How often have you’ve gone to your local electronics store, shopping outlet, or corner market only to find that they have none in stock? Or worse, that the store doesn’t carry the kind of battery you need? No, it’s not a crisis, but there ought to be some convenient way to get your watch working again without scouring the Yellow Pages for a local fix-it shop. And there is. Watch Battery Pros offer a unique and reliable service for your battery needs. The process is simple: go to http://www.totalwatchrepair.com and fill out an online form. You’ll receive a box with the postage already paid. The company will then replace the battery, and you’ll receive your watch in working condition. Watch Battery Pros supports hundreds of different brands, but if you happen to have any questions, you can chat with them online or call their toll-free number, both of which are available online.

So the next time your watch’s battery runs dry, don’t get discouraged. Watch Battery Pros can help. After all, it’s the little things in life that matter.

Fellow nerds can easily identify each other now from the crowd with LED binary watches. For the rest of us average watch wearers, binary watches are a new development we’ve only recently learned about, if at all. The premise of a LED binary watch is simple, albeit the explanation may seem complicated. Basically, time is gaged by the binary patterns of lights on the watch that uses a number system based on multiples of two. Hours are set in the first row and minutes are set in the row below it. The divisions of the hours are set as such: 1, 2, 4, and 8. Minutes are set like so: 1, 2 , 4, 8, 16, 32. Each increment has its own respective light, and a watch wearer would add up the lit increments in order to get the time. This is a far cry from the traditional hour-colon-minutes, and may seem daunting, but it’s ostensible complexity belies an elementary grasp of mathematics. Some LED binary watches vary, but this is the basic premise.

So what are the top five LED binary watches out there right now?

1. 01 The One Art Edition Split-screen watch is fashioned in a retro style with the binary patterns bookending the artwork in the middle. It certainly looks exquisite, and the watch comes with additional features such as water-resistance and long battery life. Unfortunately, the watch doesn’t have an AM/PM differentiation, which can prove somewhat irksome.

2. The Zero Kelvin LED binary watch has a different pattern from traditional binary watches. In lieu of two rows, the watch has five columns. The first on the far left is the hour column divided into contemporary increments of 1 through 12. The four columns to the left show the minutes within a given hour, and have separate increments ranging from 5 to 60. The style of the watch looks almost space-age, and the LED animation is entrancing to look at. However, this watch also lacks AM/PM differentiation, and the additional LED columns can prove bewildering for new watch wearers.

3. The Tokyo Flash Men’s “Barcode SS” watch is a little similar to the previously mentioned Zero Kelvin at first glance, but the watch has its own unique set of charms. The style is comfortably modern, and there are four columns, but unlike the previous watches, there are no increments written on the sides. A watch wearer would simply tell the time by counting the lights in the columns respectively. This watch is powered by lithium batteries that are easily replaced.

4. 01 The One Men’s Lightmare Fashion watch is a truly special watch. The LED lights are set in a circular formation, and the hours and minutes are represented by the their respective revolutions. Second are counted off by the single row of lights in the middle. Its design lends an air of authority and innovation unlike its comtemporaries. Additionally, the watch is water-resistant!

5. The Tokyo Flash Kisai Sensei binary LED watch is a beautiful time ticker. Its design is unlike any other LED binary watch, somewhat resembling a delicate piece of circuitry one normally doesn’t seen underneath the face plate of a given machine. Its shape is also unconventional for wrist watches, the watch takes on the form of a square, and the multicolor LED pattern has an impressive-looking layout. The Kisai Sensi comes in its own aluminium black case.

It’s something you see often, different businesses who place up slogans ensuring quality customer service. In my personal experience, it’s rarely the case though, and it’s not necessarily the company’s fault. If you have to service over hundreds of different customers on a daily basis, you’re bound to feel a little numb from the experience. It’s the nature of most jobs after all, it’s hard to feel that first initial excitement your 1000th time at the rodeo.

At Total Watch Repair, the business runs things a little differently. It’s been around since 1953, and Total Watch Repair does more than just watch repair, they restore your watch to its original, untarnished condition. Servicing over hundreds of different brands, each case is different for their professional technicians because after all, not every watch is the same. It’s an inviting experience every time a new watch is shipped in. So whether your have a Citizen, Swiss Army, or a Fossil, this company will do your watch repair with a happy smile and certain amount of anticipation in what they can do for you.

As technology continues to surprise us and we assimilate the latest gadgets into our daily routines, businesses have also been trying to keep up with the times by providing an assortment of convenient services on the Internet. Nowadays, it’s not so uncommon to hear about some great deal a friend stumbled across on a site for a product you paid for at twice the amount. Unfortunately, sidewalk shops and stores require both time and gas to get there, and the other hassle is that the customer is never sure whether or not the store carries the product they’re looking for. Sure, you could call and ask, but how long does it take for an employee to double-check the aisles while you’re waiting on hold as the water is boiling in the pot and the kids want a snack before dinner? It’s not a pretty picture.

Fortunately for us, we can find our type of watch batteries online at Total Watch Repair. That’s right, you won’t have to call in to ask if they carry your specific battery, or whether or not they have even heard of your watch brand (chance are they probably have given that they service hundreds of different watch brands) but it’s good to know that there’s a part of our lives that has been taken care of for us.
