Shinola Watch Stop Working? Trouble Shooting Guide

Wondering what to do if your Shinola stopped working? Don't panic, we can help you diagnose the likely cause. So don't panic if your Shinola Watch Stopped Working!

• The most likely cause of a stopped Shinola is as simple as needing a new watch battery.
• A much rarer possibility is a problem with the actual watch movement. This is rare unless your Shinola has been dropped or physically damaged.

With such a beautiful and valuable piece of Detroit made machinery, it's normal to worry if your favorite timepiece suddenly stopped working, but odds are, your Shinola just needs a watch battery replacement.

Why did your Shinola Watch Stop Working?

It's impossible to tell definitively without looking at the specific watch, but there are a few clues you can use.

• Time: First, how long has it been since you first purchased your Shinola or last replaced your Shinola Watch Battery? Most of they time a battery will last 18-24 months under usual use and conditions. So if it's been in that neighborhood of time, our money is on it just needing a battery.
• Situation: Has your watch recently been dropped or experienced adverse conditions? Extreme heat, extreme cold, water etc.? If so, it's possible that the time keeping mechanisms have been damaged. If none of these has occured, it's again likely you just need a battery and you shouldn't worry that your Shinola Watch Stop Working.
• Test: At the end of the day, regardless of the situation getting a Shinola watch battery replacement is your most cost effective method. Having your watch inspected usually costs between $50 and $100 by a watch jeweler and if something is broken, the price is sure to increase. Getting a new battery is the perfect test and only costs $30 with WatchGnome.

Shinola's are finely crafted and usually cost upwards of $500, so $35 to get it running again is definitely worth it in the long run. Over the years, we have gotten hundreds of Shinola watches that had stopped working - and only 1 of them wasn't fixed by replacing the battery.

So the odds are in your favor!

How Can I Get My Shinola Running Again?

• If it's just a battery (which it likely is) you can get it running again with a simple battery replacement. Because of the precision and relative newness of Shinola watches many shops won't touch them. So check with your local jeweler, but if you want to do it the hassle free way - check us out.
• If it's confirmed that it's NOT your Shinola battery, it's most likely a problem with the Shinola Movement itself. Depending on which model you have and when it was purchased you can check the Shinola warranty and they will likely cover it for you.
