Can be repaired old quartz or solar watches?

Hi,

Are old quartz or solar watches worth buying? I saw some aluminum Swatch Ironys at a friend’s house, which were from the late 90s or mid-2000s. Looking in the G-Shock database, I found many interesting models, but some were also from the same period (late 90s or mid-2000s) as my friend’s Swatches. If these watches break, can they be repaired? Can functional parts be found for such watches, if such parts are possible to replace?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Adrian

What are the characteristics of each?

Can you give me examples of mechanical watches that fit into each category?
