Oddly enough, the Ronda appears to be designed in a way that makes it repairable - everything, even the electronics module and coil, is held together with screws & their website lists replacement parts #s and an oiling chart, so that even a traditional watchmaker without any electronics skills would be capable of repair

But given that you can get a replacement movement for $10, I can hardly imagine a circumstance where it would ever pay to make such a repair.

yep, the metal Miyota movements like the 2025 etc, are quite repairable, in fact if I am stuck without a new movement in stock I will just service it, I have enough movements in the junk drawer to cannibalise for parts :)

the all plastic ones are generally not servicable because they are welded together to save on screws

I just picked up some Hattori Y121 movements, these can be serviced too, but at $5 each why would you.
