Watch Pressure Test in the United States
18 listed shops
A Pressure Test confirms that a watch case is properly sealed. It usually follows a reseal, a new gasket, a crystal replacement or a service, and it is the way to know the case is closed correctly before the watch meets water again.
If you swim or dive with your watch, ask for a Pressure Test that matches how you use it rather than only a basic check. Dive watches in particular deserve testing after any work on the case.
If the test fails, the usual cause is a seal, the crystal or the crown, and the shop should explain what needs replacing. Ask for the result or a note of the test, which is useful the next time the watch is serviced.

Frequently asked questions
When should a watch get a Pressure Test?
After any work that opens the case, such as a battery change, new gasket, crystal replacement or service, and before swimming or diving with the watch.
How long does a Pressure Test take?
The Pressure Test itself is usually quick. If it fails, replacing seals or other parts and retesting takes longer.
What does it mean if my watch fails a Pressure Test?
A fail usually means a gasket, the crystal or the crown is not sealing, and those parts need attention before the watch is exposed to water.
Where can I get a Pressure Test near me?
Choose your city on this page to see workshops that list a Pressure Test, and ask whether they can test to the depth you actually dive or swim.
