There's not much ic to change even if u wanted to. watch modules are alike to TV remote,calculator.

all the circuit are encapsulated in a black resin like material right at the back end of a semi-conductor line.

The only contact points are for the buttons to trigger.

ABC watches will have the sensors as well for measurement.

The normal watchmaker that does mostly mechanical watches- at best can only do fix parts change on quartz watch. Parts,like movement,battery contact pt, coil.

As for electronic watches- they Dun even repair it at the agents-change the whole module if it's under warranty .

The modules are dirt cheap in cost,considering it's not a automotive or health ic package, the specs it needs to pass during manufacturing is even lower-maybe slightly more stringent than led manufacturing.

component level repair or troubleshooting for digital or quartz watch are just too tedious and dun yield reasonable profits and results

Maybe i don't know about the brand enough, but when i think of Suunto, i only think of their dive computers. :)

actually, not a big problem with service, because you can put the watch into a bubble envelope and send it to their finland HQ. will take a few weeks, but it'll be honored and sent back to you.

i did that before. apart from waiting time, not much hassle
