Why is a simple microscope used while repairing watches?

Solution

A simple microscope has a convex lens that has the ability to produce 20 times larger as well as erect images of an object. This means the magnifying power of the microscope is very high. Thus, simple microscopes are used by watchmakers to see the small parts and screws of the watch while repairing it.
