What's the harm of watch water? What if the watch water

The watch is easy to get wet and dirty. What should I do if I accidentally get water in the watch? The following methods can be tried. What are the hazards of water ingress on watches? You don't know!

Treatment method of watch water

It is normal for the watch to get water. If the water is not serious, but there is a layer of fog in the watch glass, then wrap the watch tightly with several layers of toilet paper or moisture-absorbing flannelette, and bake it 15 cm away from the 40 Watt light bulb for about 30 minutes to eliminate the water vapor. Never bake the mask directly near the fire, so as not to deform the mask. You can also wear the watch with the mask facing inside and the bottom shell facing outside on the wrist, and the moisture can be eliminated in two hours.

Of course, there are some daily repair methods for water ingress in watches:

Dry the granules with silica gel.

Accidentally, there is water in the watch case. You can put a granular substance called silica gel into a closed container with the watch that has accumulated water. After a few hours, take out the watch, and the accumulated water will disappear. This method is simple and economical, and has no damage to the accuracy and service life of the meter. The silica gel that has absorbed water for many times can be dried at 120 ℃ for several hours. The water absorption capacity is renewable and can be used repeatedly.

Wear the watch backwards.

You can also wear the watch with the mask facing inside and the bottom shell facing outside on the wrist, and the moisture can be eliminated in two hours. If the water inflow is serious.

Heat it with a light bulb.

If the water inflow is not serious, but there is a layer of fog in the watch glass, then wrap the watch tightly with several layers of toilet paper or moisture-absorbing flannelette, and bake it 15 cm away from the 40 watt bulb for about 30 minutes to eliminate the water vapor. Never bake the mask directly near the fire, so as not to deform the mask.

Oil the watch store.

None of the above three methods can remove the water vapor. You should immediately send it to the watch shop to wipe the oil and remove the moisture of the movement, so as to avoid rust of parts.

Heat it with a light bulb.

If the water inflow is not serious, but there is a layer of fog in the watch glass, then wrap the watch tightly with several layers of toilet paper or moisture-absorbing flannelette, and bake it 15 cm away from the 40 watt bulb for about 30 minutes to eliminate the water vapor. Never bake the mask directly near the fire, so as not to deform the mask.

Dry with a hair dryer

The temperature should not be too high, gentle wind, know that the moisture on the glass can not be seen.

If the water inflow is serious, it is best to send the watch shop to wipe the oil immediately to remove the moisture of the movement, so as to avoid rust of parts. Remember not to remove it by yourself to avoid damage to the movement. It will be more time-consuming, laborious and expensive to repair at that time.

Hazards of watch water

The watch belongs to a precision machine. It is uncertain whether the water inflow of the watch has an impact on the watch accessories. It depends on whether the water inflow of the watch is very serious and how waterproof the watch is. If only the watch is fogged, it is estimated that the water in the watch is not serious. If the watch slows down, does not go or other problems, it is estimated that it will have an impact on the watch accessories. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the professional watch Maintenance Center for inspection, and the general inspection is free.

Of course, you can also test the sensitivity of the watch yourself:

1. Gently shake the watch that has not been wound and has stopped moving, and observe the movement of the second hand with the help of the shaking force: if the second hand stops moving in a very short time, it means that the watch can go all the way after winding (i.e. there is no torque in the winding) and has high flexibility; If the second hand continues to move for a long time, it means that the watch cannot go all the way after winding up (that is, the winding still stores torque), the sensitivity is not high or the watch machine is faulty.

2. Turn the handle of a watch that has not been winded and stopped moving slowly and observe the start of the second hand: the less the handle is turned, the earlier the second hand is started, the higher the sensitivity of the watch; Otherwise, the sensitivity is low or the meter has other faults. However, it should be noted that due to the large stiffness of the hairspring, the quick swing watch needs a little more winding than the traditional frequency (18000 times / hour) watch machine to swing. A watch with high sensitivity can keep walking for a long time after winding once.

A certain distance should be maintained between the watch needle, the watch mirror, the dial and the three needles, otherwise they will collide with each other and affect the normal operation of the watch machine. During inspection, it can be observed by pulling the needle. Check whether the position and mutual cooperation of the hour hand and minute hand are normal: turn the minute hand and hour hand to 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, and observe whether the two needles are at right angles; Dial to 6 o'clock and check whether the two needles are in a straight line; Dial to 12 o'clock and check whether the two needles coincide.

Watch waterproof common sense

Wear a watch to steam sauna.

Completely wrong behavior. Because no matter how many meters the waterproof depth is, you can't steam sauna. Maybe you know there will be no problem in appearance within time. In fact, the movement has been infringed. L month is the appearance of the watch, which is composed of materials with different expansion coefficients. If the wearing ambient temperature of the folding watch is greater than or equal to 50 degrees, there will be a pressure difference in the watch. Under the action of air pressure, the air in the watch will run outward. When the temperature difference is restored, the external air will run back into the watch. The temperature in the steam bathroom is higher than the standard, and the air in the meter will run out. When the humidity is higher than the standard, water vapor may not appear in the meter immediately in some cases, but when there is a sudden low temperature, the air with a temperature higher than the standard in the meter will condense on the glass to form water droplets or fog, and the heat of the steam will accelerate the aging of the waterproof rubber ring and cannot normally protect the movement.

Quartz watches are no longer waterproof after changing the battery.

The view that the travel time is not accurate is wrong. Because the maintenance settings of the professional maintenance station are very perfect, after you change the battery, professional instruments will be used by professional technicians to re pressurize, reset the waterproof, and measure whether the travel time error is within the normal value. So be sure to replace the battery at the professional maintenance station.

Daily care of watches

Watch daily care should pay attention to the following issues:

1. The outer packing box of the watch should not be discarded

When you receive a beloved watch and remove the outer package, don't throw away the protective watch box. These hard case storage boxes for protecting watches can give the safest protection to watches when they are not worn, so it is absolutely necessary to keep the storage box. It is suggested that when you don't wear watches on weekdays, you can form the habit of putting them in the box, which can greatly reduce the probability of watch damage.

2. Treatment of dirty watches

If the non waterproof chain list is dirty, you can gently brush the stain with a soft toothbrush; The waterproof chain list can be brushed with neutral detergent mixed with water and then wiped with soft flannelette; Double canvas belt or rubber belt can also be made in the same way, but if dirt has penetrated into the inner layer of the material, it can not be treated with chemical cleaner to avoid deterioration.

Locomotive exhaust gas is easy to cause discoloration, gold-plated peeling, etc. air dust, sweat, rain, body dirt, etc. will also contaminate the watch, especially the gold-plated part of the watch. If it is a leather watch, the belt will become moldy, smell or even break. Therefore, it is best to wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wearing the watch every time (especially in hot summer).

3. Protection of waterproof watch

When you don't wear it normally, try not to damp the watch to avoid leather deformation; Placed near magnetic objects will also affect the accuracy of the watch. In addition, even the waterproof watch should avoid soaking the watch, and as long as the watch has blisters (unless it is a diving watch), it is best to enter the site for inspection to avoid serious damage to the internal movement parts due to time delay. In fact, the waterproof degree of the waterproof watch will change with the hardening of the waterproof ring, so it is necessary to replace the waterproof ring in time.

In hot and humid weather, it is easy to condense the engine oil inside the watch, resulting in stop and go, slow minute or complete stop, which will harden the waterproof ring and reduce the waterproof function. It is particularly noteworthy that seawater contains salt and is corrosive to metal components. Therefore, after outdoor activities, the watch shell should also be washed with fresh water to avoid corrosion.
