Backed by years of experience, we know how to keep timepieces running well. The following watch care and maintenance tips help protect your favorite wristwatch from serious damage and expensive repair costs.
Tips
• Replace battery as soon as the watch stops running or second hand jumps every few seconds. A dead battery will leak out and damage movement. If you don’t plan on using the watch, remove the battery.
• If you pull out the crown to save the battery, place the watch in a box. This way dust and moisture cannot penetrate the watch case.
• Replace crown if it fails to properly fix into the post. Replace crystal if cracked.
• Avoid water damages. Though most watches are water-resistant*, the level of resistance is determined by the bar. The chart below depicts levels of water resistance:
*Please note that the deep levels are lab test levels and do not mean that the watch can be used that deep in the water. For example, five-bar resistance doesn’t mean that the watch can be used 160 feet under water. A watch’s gasket or rubber ring maintains its water resistance. Over time (about three years), gaskets lose their elasticity and no longer protect the watch. We add an average of one year (from manufacturing to the day the watch was purchased) to the age of the gasket of a new watch. Avoid exposure to shampoo, soap, body lotions, extreme temperature, or sudden temperature changes which accelerate the aging rate of gaskets.
• Do not set the time or push buttons while the watch is wet.
• Service your watch periodically based on the manufacturer’s recommendations (generally every five years).
• Avoid leaving your watch in the sun or exposing it to sudden temperature fluctuation). This can cause malfunctions and permanent damage.
• Clean the bracelet using a soft brush and warm water. Wash and dry one side of the bracelet at a time. This procedure should only be done if the watch is at least five bars water resistant.
