DW is a fashion watch brand from Sweden. It is loved by many young people because of its relatively cheap price, simple style and fashion. Wearing watches, many people will be concerned about whether the watch is waterproof, because many non waterproof watches will fade and become old when they are exposed to water, and the heavy ones may cause watch damage. Is DW watch waterproof? Can I take a bath with my DW watch? Let's take a look at this article.
Is DW watch waterproof?
DW watch is waterproof, but it is not recommended to wear it to take a bath.
The waterproof performance of DW watch mainly depends on the waterproof rubber rings at the lens, back cover and crown of DW watch.
There is not much introduction about the waterproof of DW watch, such as 30m, 50m, 100m, etc. there are a lot of information available on the Internet. Here we mainly explain some waterproof knowledge.
The waterproof depth of 50m does not represent the waterproof depth, but the pressure corresponding to 50m when the water surface is still. 50m is equal to 5atm / bar. Usually, the shower head in the bathroom sprays water at about 20L per minute, which means that the water pressure will be much greater than 5atm. Obviously, the gauge mirror can not bear that pressure and water will enter, Of course, the hot water temperature of Bathing will also affect the tightness of the rubber ring, resulting in water vapor.
However, even if the underwater DW watch is waterproof for more than 200 meters, it can not be worn to take a hot bath, steam sauna, or used in an environment with large temperature changes. Large temperature changes will lead to thermal expansion and cold contraction, resulting in gaps in the rubber ring and affecting the waterproof effect. When purchasing DW watches, be sure to ask the salesperson about the waterproof standard of DW watches. Don't be confused by these labels and numbers. Some people believe that the more expensive the DW watch, the more functions it will have. However, some expensive DW watches are very delicate. They are not only not waterproof, but sometimes they must 'drip free'.
If you buy a waterproof DW watch, you'd better choose a strap made of steel, plastic, rubber and ceramic. The leather strap is delicate. Even if it is stained with sweat, it will shorten its service life.
