Tips for Extending Watch Lifespan and Maintenance

　　The lifespan of a watch is closely tied to how much attention the wearer pays to routine maintenance. What factors must we look out for if we wish to prolong our watch's longevity? What are the tips for servicing a watch? Let's follow Xiaoya below to find out.

　　Watch Maintenance Tips

　　Magnetic fields: do not use in strong magnetic field environments

　　Both mechanical and quartz watches are vulnerable to magnetic fields. For mechanical watches, most movement components are made of steel and are easily disrupted by magnetic fields. Although quartz watches do not contain as many steel parts as mechanical ones, they are still affected. Therefore, in daily life, do not place your watch on radios or televisions, nor near the magnetic clasps of handbags or belts; you should keep your watch far away from such items.

　　Dust: clean the case appropriately

　　Although we do not come into close contact with dust very often in daily life, it is still quite useful to check the case occasionally, at least to keep it looking clear.

　　Temperature: beware of thermal expansion and contraction

　　No watch should be used in environments with drastic temperature fluctuations. You should avoid wearing it while taking hot baths or using saunas. Because the waterproof rubber gaskets will expand and contract due to temperature changes, creating gaps and accelerating ageing, this can cause water ingress and condensation inside the watch, potentially damaging the movement in severe cases. Increased temperatures can also affect watch timing accuracy, so try to avoid exposing your watch to strong sunlight. As it is currently winter, you should especially refrain from wearing your watch during saunas or high-temperature yoga activities.

　　Shocks: Avoid severe vibrations and impacts

　　Although watches have a certain degree of shock resistance, it is limited. Exceeding this limit can cause damage to the watch. Many watch exterior components already use materials such as ceramics, hard metals, and sapphire crystal. Although these materials have high hardness and wear resistance, they can still crack under sudden drops or impacts. Therefore, it is best not to wear a watch during activities involving intense movement. For example, do not wear any watch other than a professional golf watch while playing golf.

　　Storage: Keep winding or remove the battery

　　Even if you do not use a watch for a long time, you cannot simply neglect it. For a mechanical watch, wind it at least once every 1-2 month(s), while for a quartz watch, you need to take out the battery. This is because quartz watches basically use silver oxide batteries, which still consume power even when not in use. Once the battery runs out, it is prone to liquid leakage, which is highly corrosive and has a negative impact on the quartz watch.

　　Strap: sweat is the greatest enemy

　　Although it is currently winter and you are less likely to sweat, it is important to remember that sweat from your wrist is the primary factor that damages a watch. Leather straps are extremely difficult to clean from sweat stains, and prolonged wear will produce odours or cause them to harden; steel bracelets can also become very slippery when exposed to sweat.
