Sales & repair, under one roof

Timepieces, tended
for a lifetime.

We sell watches built to be worn for decades, and we service the ones you already own — cleaning movements, replacing crystals, and fitting new straps by hand at our own bench.

Collection

Watches and accessories, chosen to last.

Every piece we carry is chosen for how it wears in year ten, not just year one. Filter by category, add to your bag, and check out — no account required.

Repairs

Bench work, priced plainly.

These are our common jobs and typical starting prices. Every repair begins with a free inspection, so the number you're quoted is the number you pay — no surprises at pickup.

Movement service & cleaning

from $120

Full disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, fresh lubrication, and reassembly. Recommended every 4–5 years for mechanical watches.

Battery replacement

from $18

Same-visit swap for most quartz watches, including a fresh gasket where the case calls for one.

Crystal replacement

from $45

Scratched or cracked glass, replaced and refit to the original case tolerances.

Strap or bracelet fitting

from $15

New leather, rubber, or metal fitted and sized to your wrist while you wait.

Water resistance test & reseal

from $55

Pressure testing plus gasket replacement, done before summer or after any case has been opened.

Full vintage restoration

quote required

Dial, hand, and case refinishing for older pieces. Every restoration is quoted individually after inspection.

How a repair runs

From your door to the bench and back.

01

Intake & inspection

Bring your watch in or mail it with our prepaid label. We log its condition and photograph it before anything is opened.

02

Diagnosis & quote

Our watchmaker identifies the issue and sends a written quote. Nothing is repaired until you approve it.

03

Approval

Approve by email or text. You can also ask questions or request photos of the movement at this stage.

04

Repair at the bench

Your watch is worked on by one watchmaker start to finish, not passed between stations.

05

Quality check & timing test

Every repair is timed across positions for several days before it's signed off.

06

Ready for pickup or return

We call or email when it's ready, and ship insured if you're not local.

About the workshop

Small enough to know your watch by name.

Smatpie Watches started as a single bench and a stubborn belief: a watch is a machine, and machines can be understood, opened, and made right again. We still work that way — one watchmaker per repair, from intake to timing test.

We sell watches for the same reason we fix them: because a good mechanical piece, looked after properly, will outlast whoever buys it. Everything in our shop is chosen with that in mind, and everything we repair is treated like it's meant to be worn for another fifty years.

Notes from customers

What people say after picking their watch back up.

My grandfather's watch hadn't run in years. It came back keeping time better than watches I've bought new.

— Dana R., Movement Service

They quoted me before touching anything and called when the price would've changed. That alone earned my next repair too.

— Marcus T., Crystal Replacement

Bought the Northline Diver in the shop and had a strap fitted while I waited. Wearing it every day since.

— Priya S., Watches

Mailed in a watch from three states away and got clear updates the whole time. Easier than any local shop I'd tried.

— Owen L., Full Restoration

Questions

Good to know before you visit.

Yes — mechanical, automatic, and quartz, from everyday brands to vintage pieces. If a part needs to be sourced or fabricated, we'll tell you during the quote.

Most jobs like battery swaps or strap fittings are done same-day. Movement services usually take 4–7 business days; restorations vary and are estimated at quote time.

Every repair carries an 18-month warranty against the same issue recurring, covering parts and labor.

Yes. Once your inspection request is confirmed, we send a prepaid, insured shipping label and the same free quote process applies.

We do, on a case-by-case basis. Bring it in or describe it through the contact form and we'll let you know what we can offer.

Unworn items may be returned within 30 days with proof of purchase. Straps and tools must be in original packaging.
