If you have a middle or high-grade mechanical watch, Maybe you should give it a complete maintenance every two or three years, i.e, replace water resistant components, check whether it’s still accurate and how about movement deterioration, clean the movement and make appearance maintenance, etc. these will surely extend the service life of your Mechanical watch. Just take a rest to check the following 10 simple tips about how to maintain your mechanical watches:

1. When wearing your watches, note that your sweat out of your skin will corrode the case, better if it’s made of Ni-Cr alloy for overall steel watches, or it may get corroded in case worn on your wrist for many hours, therefore, it will be nice to dry the sweat with cloth or lay a watch stand below the back case during a rest.

2. Don’t open the back case too often, to avoid getting dust in and being out of normal work.

3. Don’t place your watches everywhere there’s camphor balls, which will drive the oil in the watch useless.

4. Don’t put your watches on or besides your amplifier machine, audio, TV and other similar home devices, to prevent from magnetization.

5. Not Wearing watches for days, maybe you should wind it up manually, shake or swing for several minutes to get it winded up if your watch is automatic, which may keep all the functions fine.

6. Mechanical watch gets damped? dont worry, try pressing it with dry cotton, then baking for 5 minutes besides a 40W bulb(laid about 15cm away), all the humidity will get out! But how if you gotta a quartz watch? Just take a bit of calcium chloride, packed with soft coth, then open the case of your quartz watch, and encase the packed calcium chloride and your watch into a sealed plastic bag or glass bottles, normally you will get your quartz watch fine three hours or more later.

7. When receiveing your lovely watches, and unfolding outer package, do remember keeping all the boxes. these boxes can protect your watches from dropped or stricken! it’s very nice if you can lay it back to boxes when you don’t wanna wear them, which will reduce the rate of damage greatly.

8. Better not wear the same watch for days, more than one watch in storage will be good. not only it helps you be more stylish, but avoid more dust accumulation on the same watch. Take more care of your leather watch bracelet, in case of wear and tear duing to often wearing, or it may look likes an old item even a new watch.

9. Don’t sleep with your watches on your wrist. It’s bad for your health if it’s luminous, this is because the luminous watch dial indicator and the coating of luminescent material, is mainly a mixture of radium and zinc sulfide, radium-ray can stimulate light-emitting zinc sulfide crystals. Sleeping with watches, you may get unhealthy ray radiation, too. Better way you may folllow is taking off you watch from you wrist and laying it on your desk.

10. Cystal renovation. After months’ wears, your crystal may get scratched. Give a few drops of water on the face, and a little of toothpaste, then you can get the crystal back to new by Rubbing the face!

End!

Watches Day-To-Day Maintenance And Caution

Watch as a high-precision timing equipment, and art jewelry, proper use and maintenance is essential to extend the service life，watch precision and keep appearance pieces nice to get a high quality life!

Check the following items to get known more about how to maintain your luxury watches!

1, Maintenance of appearance pieces:
(1) Case and strap: There are  a variety of materials for watch case and strap, such as tungsten titanium alloy, high-tech ceramic, stainless steel, soft fiber, and ordinary steel, may should avoid being rubbed or stricken against something at the same or higher hardness. Watch case and strap regular cleaning Is also very necessary, note to keep away from sea water, salt water bath, perfume, shampoo, nail polish, nail with water and some chemicals in cosmetics, or they’ll erode your gold plated or steel face of watch.

(2) Crystal: Crystal can be divided into the synthesis of crystal rubber, mineral glass, and sapphire glass. the synthesis of crystal rubber is less scratch-prone, but highly resistant to impact force; sapphire crystal features high abrasion resistance, but brittle from heavy impact; mine glass is between the characteristics of these two. Even if sapphire should be also paid attention to objects like diamonds, stone, sandpaper, nail files, surface stone fence, and impurities ‌in concrete walls, etc, in order not to scratch the surface.

2, Watch water resistant:
30 meters Water resistant: referring to the living water, washing hands, washing face, getting wet in the rain, splashing water, etc.
50 meters Water resistant: fishing, car washing, showers, swimming and so on.
100 meters above the water:  apply to diving,  submarine tours, etc..

3, Quartz watch:
Maybe you should replace batteries regularly(ordinary can last for 1-2 years), along with seals, and make water testing. some types of watches prompt you when power is off, do change it during following three weeks after prompted.

4, Mechanical watches:
Have a look at your movement every 2-3 years, cleaning and fueling will be fine. If not worn for a long-term, it should be regularly tighten to get movement moved.

5, Do not do these to your watches:
(1) Take a sauna bath
Whatever the water resistant of your watch is, do not take a sauna, the movement may get harmed even you don’t notice them by appearance. Because the pieces of the watch case are made up of different expansion rate of materials, if the ambient temperature is higher than or equal to 50 degrees, press difference will be brought out within the watch, then the air will run out, when the temperature difference recovers, the outside air will be back to the watch. Usually, the temperature in sauna room is far higher than standard, the air in the watch will get out and its humidity will be higher than standard air condition. maybe you don’t view water vapor, however, when it meets low temperature Suddenly, of which is higher than usual condition, the vapor will coagulate on the surface of glass to form water or fog, steam heat will accelerate the aging of water resistant apron, therefore, it won’t protect your watch any longer.

(2) Confirm for the sapphire crystal via water drops condensation.
It’s unscientific, because some mineral glass will also coagulate droplets, and water droplets may also spread on some sapphire crystal, but have the same high abrasion resistance. table mirror material for which manufacturers will be made clear, and to try not to use the drops. Manufacturers will make it clear what’s the crystal material, dont test via water droplets.

(3)Quartz watch will not be water resistant and inaccurate any longer after batteries replacement.
That’s not true. Make sure get re-suppressed re-waterproofing, and tested whether time error is within the normal value by professional technician, which will help you more.

(4) Test watches’ abrasion resistance by rubing on ground or scratching the surface.
Do not recommend this.
Indeed high-tech ceramic has high abrasion resistance degree, but brittle from heavy impact and dropment.

6, Other notes:
Dont adjust the calendar at night(from 8 PM to 2 AM)!
