Unauthorized Burberry Watch Repair Shops

Local watch repair shops are not authorized service centers. They are however capable of performing work on your timepiece. Some of the more common fixes such as cleaning, band replacement, battery swaps, and all the basics can be completed at local shops. Just because they’re able to do it doesn’t mean they’re “technically allowed.” If an unauthorized watch technician tries to fix your Burberry watch, it could interfere with the warranty.

There are however benefits to seeking a local watch repair:

Speak to technicians one on one.
Faster turnaround time.
Don’t have to mail your watch anywhere.

The drawbacks of local watch repair:

Unauthorized work can void your warranty.
They can not honor your warranty.
Work that is performed will likely not be guaranteed when it is completed.

How Long is The Warranty on My Burberry Watch?

Your Burberry watch is covered under our warranty for two years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers defects in materials and manufacturing. To claim it, you must provide a copy of your receipt or dealer stamp from the booklet included with your purchase.

The only parts covered by this guarantee are the watch movement, hands, and dial during the warranty term. If a covered element is found to be defective through normal use, it will be repaired or replaced without charge. If your watch needs to be replaced, they cannot guarantee you will receive the same model. However, if your model is not available, they provide a watch of equal value and style.

This Warranty Does Not Cover:

Any damage to your watch, including the battery, case, crystal, strap, or bracelet.
Mishandling, neglect, mishaps, or ordinary wear and tear.
Water damage unless marked water-resistant.

I Want to Make A Warranty Claim, Is There Any One Locally

If you think your issue is covered by the warranty, you can find a Burberry boutique. If your product breaks, the store will manage the repair work for you at no cost to you and ship it back as a customer service measure. That doesn’t mean they fix it for free. They will mail it in on your behalf and manage the interaction with the authorized service center.

Burberry Watch Battery Replacement

If your watch has stopped working or is moving more slowly than usual, it might need a new battery. Check the expiration date on the current battery: most only last 1-3 years. Leaving a dead watch battery in your timepiece can damage the movement if the battery leaks.

While you might be tempted to change the battery in your waterproof watch yourself, it’s best to let a professional technician handle it. They can properly test the water resistance after resealing the watch. Although technically having someone else change the battery can void the warranty, this only happens if they damage the watch while doing so.

You may utilize a size conversion chart for several battery types to figure out which replacement component is appropriate. If you’re attempting to replace the battery yourself, see this page.

Burberry Watch Crystal Damage

Because these are low-end timepieces, the crystals are usually constructed of plastic or acrylic mineral glass. This implies that replacing them will be less expensive than with a high-end watch. While lower-end crystals may not shatter as easily, they scratch more readily.

Depending on the actual material and whether it is beveled, a local repair shop or jeweler can replace the crystal for between $25 and $60. There are however some models with sapphire crystals which will be more expensive, typical repairs start at $100 or more.

Band and Strap Replacement

At Burberry, you can find watches with various types of straps and bands, from metal to leather. It’s easy to replace the band or strap on your watch too–you can remove the connecting system at the lugs with a spring pen. And it’s all up to you what replacement you choose.

Depending on the material, you can find a variety of repair options under $20 at the Burberry watch repair near me. If you want a metal link option, it will cost between $35 and $50. Many third-party bands fit these watches perfectly.

Resizing

A lot of people are aware that you can resize your watch. It’s frequently requested when people have a weight change, as it’s important to keep the timepiece fitting snugly on your wrist.

If you bought a Burberry item from a retail store, they more than likely don’t have the gear to help you with sizing at their location. They will send your watch through the mail instead. In my opinion, it would be a better deal with a local jewelry shop or watch repair business concerning these types of watches.

Crown Repair or Replacement

Not only can crown repair be difficult, but if the stem is damaged as well, it becomes an even more tedious task. The major drawback of stem damage is that outwardly, everything may appear to be functioning properly, but on the inside, the components may have been pushed and misaligned–making it much more difficult (and in some cases, even impossible) to repair.

If your crown or stem is in any way compromised, bring it to a professional watch technician.

Repairs to the Movement on a Burberry Watch

The movement is the watch’s lifeblood. These are the inner mechanisms that keep it running. To perform repairs and overhauls, a professional should be called in. In most cases, Burberry watches have Quartz movements which are easier to repair and replace.

Authorized Burberry Watch Repair Near Me

If you’re looking for an authorized Burberry watch repair near me, your best bet is to look for a Burberry store. Alternatively, you can consider sending it to a Burberry authorized service center (which is a Fossil Service center). Because Fossil makes these timepieces, they handle all of their repairs.

You can start the process of an authorized Burberry watch repair by sending your watch in. You will see an FG in the website that stands for Fossil Group.

If you think your problem is covered by a warranty, you must have an original bill of sale with the purchase date, price, and watch type number. When you send in your timepiece, include a copy of it. If Fossil finds that the problem is covered under warranty and that repairs are required, your watch will be restored for free. The guarantee also gives them the right to exchange your watch with an equivalent model if they do not have the components needed to repair it.

For watches not covered under warranty, they will give you an estimate of repair costs. You can choose to have the repairs done or receive your watch back unrepaired.

Tips for Sending Your Watch to an Authorized Burberry Service Center Near Me

Before you send a watch to a Burberry Service Center, do the following:

Describe the problem in detail on an index card. Explain how far you dropped it if you did so. If your watch isn’t keeping time, explain how far off the clock it is.
If you don’t have a receipt, try to guess how much the watch is worth and write your estimate on the index card with the problem description.
Insure your package for the value you estimated or higher to account for any damages that may occur during shipping.
You should pack the watch in bubble wrap to avoid any damage in transit.
Include your proof of purchase whenever claiming a warranty.
Use signature confirmation or a tracking service to ensure your timepiece reaches its intended destination.

Can you Fix a Burberry Watch Yourself?

Burberry watches are designed to be as durable as possible, but like any timepiece, they’re susceptible to damage. And when they do break, it can be tempting to try and fix them yourself.

But unless you’re a trained watchmaker, we don’t recommend trying to fix your Burberry watch yourself. Not only is it voiding your warranty, but you could end up doing more harm than good. Once you open the case back you are potentially exposing the movement to dust and debris.

Leave it to the professionals and take your Burberry watch to an authorized repair center near you. If you are not concerned or perhaps have a lapsed warranty, consider getting proper watchmaker tools first.
