One of these elements is watch, which not only decorate the interior of your Satsuma, but also perform a practical function. However, getting them is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. This article will help you figure out where to look for watches, how to repair them, install them, and avoid common mistakes that even experienced players make.

There are several ways to acquire a watch in the game, and each of them requires certain actions. Some people prefer to find them in a landfill, some buy them in a store, and some manage to assemble them from parts. We will look at all options, including hidden mechanics that are not talked about even in official guides. We will pay special attention watch repair is a separate art, where every detail and sequence of actions is important.

If you are just starting to play or this is not the first time you get behind the wheel of your Satsuma, but couldn’t get hold of a watch – don’t worry. In this article you will find step-by-step instructions, tips for optimizing the process, and even a few life hacks that will save you time. And at the end we will answer the most popular questions that players have when working with watches in My Summer Car.

Where to find watches in My Summer Car: all locations

There are several ways to get hours in the game, and each of them has its pros and cons. Let's start with the most obvious - searching on the map. B My Summer Car There are a few key places to find watches or watch components:

• 🏚️ Player's house: On the second floor, in a room with a sofa, there is a clock hanging on the wall. They can be removed, but they will be inoperative and will require repairs.
• 🗑️ Junkyard: Here you can find both whole watches and individual parts (hands, mechanism, case). The price of the issue is time to search and a little luck.
• 🛒 Fleetari Repair Shop: U Fletari Sometimes watches appear on sale, but they are expensive (about 500€). But they are immediately in working order.
• 🚗 Auction: Rarely, but aptly. A watch can be put up at auction, but competition is high and the price can skyrocket.

The easiest way is to buy a watch from Fletari, but this is not always justified from an economic point of view. If you're just starting out in the game and don't have a lot of money, it's better to spend your time searching the junkyard. There you can find watches for free, albeit in poor condition. The main thing is not to forget to check the landfill after each time: update (in the sleep menu), since the assortment there changes.

There is also a hidden way: you can watch steal from home Teimo (father-in-law). To do this, you need to break into his house at night when he is sleeping. However, this method is fraught with consequences - if you are caught, your reputation will drop, and Teimo might even call the police. So weigh the pros and cons before taking such a step.

How to remove a clock from a wall in a player's house

If you decide to start with the simplest thing - removing the clock from the wall in your home - you will need screwdriver. Without it, you will not be able to unscrew the fasteners. The screwdriver can be purchased at Fleetari Repair Shop or found in a landfill. When the tool is ready, follow the instructions:

1. Go to the clock on the wall (it hangs above the sofa on the second floor).
2. Click Eto interact with them.
3. In the menu that appears, select the option Remove (remove).
4. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the fasteners.

After this, the watch will be in your inventory, but most likely it will be broken. In the game this is displayed as Broken Clock. To fix them, you will need to disassemble them into parts and replace broken components. We'll talk about this in the next section.

If you want to return them, you will have to repeat the process in reverse. Also note that The clock in the house is updated - if you remove them and then return them, they may turn out to be in a different condition (for example, working instead of broken or vice versa).

⚠️ Attention: If you remove the watch at night when the house is sleeping Teimo, he may wake up and scold you for making noise. This is not critical, but it can ruin the mood.

Watch repair: step-by-step instructions

If you received a broken watch (or found it in a landfill in this condition), it needs to be repaired. To do this you will need:

• 🔧 Screwdriver (for disassembling the case).
• 🔩 Pliers (to remove broken parts).
• 🕰️ Spare parts: hands, mechanism, glass (can be found in a landfill or bought from Fletari).
• 🧴 Lubrication (optional, but speeds up the repair process).

The repair process looks like this:

1. Place the clock on a workbench in the garage or on a table in the house.
2. Use a screwdriver to open the back cover (Use Screwdriver).
3. Take out the mechanism and inspect it. Broken parts will be highlighted in red.
4. Replace broken components with working ones (for example, Clock Hands or Clock Mechanism).
5. Reassemble the watch by screwing on the cover.
6. Check functionality by clicking E on the clock in inventory.

If after repair the clock still does not work, check:

• Are all the parts in place (sometimes small components like Clock Glass).
• Is the mechanism assembled correctly (if the parts are installed crookedly, the watch will not work).
• Does the character have enough experience (skill) Mechanics influences the success of the repair).

Detail	Where to get it	Cost (€)	Chance to be found in a landfill
Clock Hands	Landfill, Fletari	50–80	High
Clock Mechanism	Landfill, auction	100–150	Medium
Clock Glass	Landfill, Teimo's house	30–50	Low
Clock Case	Fletari, auction	200–300	Very low

⚠️ Attention: If you are dismantling watches at a junkyard, be careful - some parts may be fastened with rusty bolts, which are difficult to unscrew without WD-40 (in the game this is Rust Remover). Without it, the chance of breaking a part during disassembly increases threefold.

Installing a clock in Satsuma: where and how to mount it

When the watch is repaired, it can be installed in the salon Satsuma. To do this you need:

1. Open the hood and get to the interior (or just get into the car if it is already assembled).
2. Find a place to mount the clock. B My Summer Car There are two standard places:
   • On the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel (classic place).
   • On the center console (if there is no radio there).

Take the watch from inventory and click E at the installation site.

Use a screwdriver to secure them.

After installation, the clock will begin to show the time, but there are several nuances:

• 🕒 Clock in the car not synchronized with game time automatically. They need to be manually adjusted periodically (by pressing E on the clock in the salon).
• 🔋 If the car battery is low, the clock will stop (yes, in My Summer Car Even this detail is spelled out!).
• 🚗 In case of an accident, the watch may fall off or break, and will have to be repaired again.

If you want your watch to look more realistic, you can paint its case. For this you will need Spray Can (a can of spray paint), which is sold in Teimo’s Store. Choose the color to suit your taste, but remember that a watch that is too bright can distract from the road.

Secret watches: where unique models are hidden

In addition to standard hours, My Summer Car there are several hidden models, which differ in design and functionality. They are harder to find, but worth it. Here's where to look for them:

• 🏠 "Grandfather Clock": Located in the house Teimo on the first floor. They cannot be stolen - only bought if Teimo agrees to sell (rarely). They cost about 1000€, but look very stylish.
• 🚢 Ship's clock: Can be found on an abandoned ship Peräjärvi. They are in poor condition, but after repair they are among the most accurate in the game.
• 🎁 Clock "Mystery Clock": Sometimes they fall out Mystery Box, which can be purchased from Fletari for 200€. Drop chance is about 5%.

Unique watches not only look cooler, but also have additional features. For example, Grandfather Clock can show the phase of the moon, and the ship's clock is resistant to vibrations (does not break in case of accidents). However, their repair is more expensive due to rare parts.

How to steal Grandfather Clock from Teimo without consequences?

If you really want to get your hands on this watch, wait until Teimo goes fishing (usually on Fridays). Then you can enter the house through the window in the kitchen (you need Crowbar), take off your watch and run away. The main thing is to do this quickly, as neighbors may call the police if they notice you.

Another interesting fact: if you install Grandfather Clock in the player's house, they will chime every hour, which adds to the atmosphere, but can be annoying if you sleep nearby. This sound can be turned off by interacting with the watch and selecting Silence.

Common mistakes when working with watches and how to avoid them

Even experienced players sometimes make mistakes that lead to the loss of their watch or its breakage. Here are the most common of them:

• 🔧 Tool-free disassembly: If you try to open the watch with bare hands, the chance of breaking the case or mechanism increases to 70%. Always use a screwdriver!
• 🗑️ Loss of parts: When disassembling in a landfill, parts may get “lost” in the trash. To avoid this, put them in your inventory immediately after extraction.
• 🕒 Untimely timing: If you don’t wind up the clock in your car once a game day, it will start to rush or lag, and after a week it will stop altogether.
• 💰 Buying fake watches: Sometimes sold at auction Fake Clock (fake). They look like regular ones, but they don't work and can't be repaired. Check the description before purchasing!

Another common problem is The watch does not fit in the car. This happens if:

• The installation location is occupied by another item (for example, GPS or radio).
• There are not enough fasteners in the car (you need to buy more Mounting Brackets at Fletari).
• The watch is too heavy for the chosen location (relevant for Grandfather Clock).

If the watch still does not work after repair, try the following:

1. Check that all parts are original (some auction parts may not be compatible).
2. Try disassembling and reassembling the watch - sometimes it helps.
3. Use Duct Tape (duct tape) to temporarily secure the mechanism (this will work for 1-2 game days).

⚠️ Attention: If you are using Duct Tape for repair, the clock will work, but its accuracy will drop by 30% and it may stop at any time. This is a temporary solution!

Watches as a source of income: is it possible to make money on them?

B My Summer Car The watch can not only be used, but also sell. This is not the most profitable business, but if you approach it wisely, you can make good money. Here are some ways:

• 🛠️ Repair and resale: Buy broken watches from a junkyard or auction, repair them and sell them Fletari or through an auction. Net profit is about 100–200 € from each pair.
• 🎨 Customization: Paint your watch a rare color (eg. Gold or Chrome) and sell them as "designer". The price may increase by 1.5–2 times.
• 📦 Parts kits: Dismantle watches for parts and sell them separately. For example, Clock Mechanism the watch itself costs 80–100€, and the assembled watch costs 150€.

It is best to sell watches through an auction, since there you can set a starting price and wait for a buyer willing to pay more. However, please note that the auction takes a commission of 10% of the transaction amount.

Way to earn money	Starting investment (€)	Profit per unit (€)	Time per trade
Repair and resale	50–150	100–200	10–15 minutes
Customization	200–300	300–500	20–30 minutes
Selling parts	0 (if found in a landfill)	50–100	5 minutes

If you decide to get serious about this, it makes sense to set up a “conveyor”: find parts in a landfill, repair them in a garage and sell them through an auction. The main thing is not to forget to monitor demand. For example, before the holidays (like Midsummer) the demand for watches is growing, and they can be sold at a higher price.
