What are the watch's preventive maintenance?

like other highly precise instruments, watches need regular maintenance to ensure perfect operation. Obviously, I can't explain the regular maintenance here, because it depends on the style, climate and maintenance of the watch wearer. Usually according to the use of watches, the period of regular maintenance is every 4 to 5 years.

1. Avoid placing wristwatches on top of televisions or refrigerators or freezers because they have a strong magnetic field. This is the most basic prevention in our daily life, because most of the time, people habitually put their watches next to the home stereo or computer, sometimes even on the refrigerator, so that they will be magnetized instantly and the watch will go faster.

2. Always clean your wristwatch with water after swimming. This is very important. In summer, everyone wears a diving watch when swimming. Sometimes, when swimming is over, they forget to clean their watch, especially when they go to the seaside. The watch must be cleaned. In fact, it's very simple. After swimming and taking a shower, they use cool water to clean their watch.

3. Avoid high temperature or other impact. Under the high temperature environment, when the watch is fogged, it is not air proof. In addition, it receives the impact of hard objects. If it is a mechanical watch, the movement may be damaged, and the hard objects may scratch the mirror or the case.

4. Carefully lock the crown to prevent water from entering the watch. Now the watch is waterproof, basically a spiral crown. When we adjust the time for operation, we will turn the crown out. We must remember to lock the crown after operation.

5. Use toothbrush and soapy water to clean the metal watch chain and all waterproof watch cases, and dry them with a soft cloth. Because of sweat and so on, there will be dirt in the strap when it is used. Clean it in time. Avoid direct contact with watches, solvents, detergents, perfumes and cosmetics. They will corrode watch chains, watchcase and washers.

6. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (above 60 ° C, below 0 ° C) or extreme temperature differences.

7. Do not operate the timing button in the water to prevent water from seeping into the watch parts. When you press the button underwater, the water will enter and erode the movement.

8. The service life of the leather strap is usually about 2 years. The leather strap can be protected as much as possible and the service life can be extended through the following steps:

Avoid contact with water and moisture to prevent discoloration and deformation.

Avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent fading.

Remember that leather is permeable! Avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetics.

Although the average life of leather (which is organic material) is limited (sweat erosion, wear and damage, etc.), the leather strap shall be kept in good condition for at least 6 months without affecting its appearance.
