Shinola Woodward Store

Shinola's own Woodward Avenue store in downtown Detroit handles battery swaps and full servicing for Shinola watches.

This is Shinola's own retail store on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit, and it handles after-sales work on the brand's own watches rather than acting as a general repair shop for outside brands. If you bought a Shinola runwell, canfield, or any other model from the line, this is a straightforward place to bring it for a battery replacement or a full service and overhaul.

Because it's a brand-run location rather than an independent watchmaker, the scope here is narrower than a typical repair shop: expect Shinola-specific work rather than servicing for Swiss or Japanese brands from other makers. That's worth knowing before making the trip if your watch isn't a Shinola.

The store sits in the heart of downtown Detroit and keeps retail hours seven days a week, open from 10am most days, with a slightly earlier close on Sunday at 6pm. As a company-owned shop, pricing and turnaround for repairs follow Shinola's standard service policies rather than an independent shop's rates, so it's worth calling ahead or checking with staff in person for current costs and wait times on your specific repair.

For Shinola owners in Detroit, this location offers the convenience of dealing directly with the brand rather than shipping a watch out or finding a third-party watchmaker familiar with the movement. For anything outside the Shinola catalog, you'll want to look elsewhere in the city.
