Model-specific repair · all Serbia
Smartwatch works only on the charger and shuts off when removed
This most often points to a battery that cannot accept or retain energy, but a broken contact, damaged flex or power-controller fault can behave similarly. We accept watches in Belgrade or by courier from anywhere in Serbia.

Frequently asked questions
How much does “Works only on charger” cost?
Smartwatch diagnostics are free. The exact price depends on the model, root cause and part cost, and is approved before work begins.
Can the fault be diagnosed from a photo?
A photo can show external damage and help identify the model. Power, charging and board faults require measurements after the device is received.
Can I send the watch by courier?
Yes. We accept devices from across Serbia. Send the model, symptom and city first so we can advise on packing and whether to include the charger.
Do you begin repair immediately?
No. We diagnose first, report the cause, available options and exact price, and begin only after your approval.
