In a typical work setting, watch repairers:

Interpersonal Relationships

• Have a medium level of social contact. They talk with customers in person throughout the day, but also spend time working by themselves.
• Are somewhat responsible for the work done by other repairers or assistants.
• Communicate with others by telephone or in person.

Physical Work Conditions

• Always work indoors.
• Are sometimes exposed to hazardous situations that might produce cuts or scrapes.
• Are occasionally exposed to contaminants.

Work Performance

• Must fully complete and be exact in their work. This is to be sure timepieces keep accurate time.
• Make decisions often that greatly impact customers and their company's profits. They rarely, if ever, consult another before making a decision.
• Set their daily tasks and goals without consulting another.

Hours/Travel

• Usually work 35 to 40 hours per week.
