Is having a watch repair shop gaining?

[Stardom22]

I think that business is not doing well in my country. Most people no longer buy neither are they using watches. We are in the digital era whereby people use gears and phone clocks to keep their time.

These days I don't see people using watches, they use a mobile phone to track time. Instead of a watch repair ship, you can open a mobile repair shop.

It depends on the location, demand for watch repair services, and your ability to effectively market the business. Generally speaking, watch repair is still a popular and viable business in many areas. If you can offer quality services and build a good reputation, there is potential to be successful.

I think that if you offer your shop to a repairman in the mall, then they will certainly charge you more money comparatively to a repairman who could be found in the local market.

You're absolutely correct. The charge varies from mall to outside mall stall because those watch repair men pay the space with aircon unlike outdoors only the nature's wind lol.

Watch repair business used to be very profitable when there were no mobile phone even the keypad. The only thing people had their watches to see the time. I remember on that time watch business was excellent. Nowadays people are using comparatevly less watches.

I cannot even remember the last time I had bought and used watch last. Look around, you hardly notice anybody with watches. People are using phone time instead.

People here wear watches despite having a cellular phone. In my case, I have 5 watches and wear one I like when I go to work and do shopping. I have been wearing a watch since I was 15 years old. I feel restless without it.

Such a business, in my opinion, is not profitable these days. The majority of people use their smartphones to check the time and other information.

In my perspective the business is no longer lucrativity who as before. The man that repairs is our watches actually don't make much money again from it.

 

[Starmix]

That is right, is not any more lucrative because there are many cheap watches this time that are in fashion, so those watches under repair won't anymore be repaired.

Probably, I don't consider such a venture lucrative. Because I know someone who is into it. You can incorporate other businesses into it like selling of brand new watches.

It's a 50/50 chance of getting a customer in a day.

I went to a watch repair to repair my new watch. Its strap is rubberized but so unlucky for its strap was stretched badly when it hit our French window. I was so shocked when the repair man charged me 250 pesos more or less $5. He just cut it then connect back. It took 10 minutes only. I realized it's a gaining business. The watch repair man as what he told me was trained. He said he has customers daily. Do you believe it's a gaining business? What can you say?

It is a good business but the individual needs to add some other businesses so that has can do them simultaneously

Probably, that is why you need to have other businesses with it. That way you will be sure of getting customers.

Yes it is once you are in a good location and you are good at it

Th price matters once buy in the mall or request repair in the mall than the pricing outside. It differs by almost 25%.

I also think that this business will not have much profit because people use their mobile phones.

Yes, now there are many people who tend to use phones. I think that phones without a coloured display also used to display time as well.

people who usually sell watches here add other businesses to it. They can be selling bangles, waist beads and others.
