  If you accidentally let your purchasedDW watchesbecome magnetised, do you know how to demagnetise the watch? Below, I will share methods for demagnetising a DW watch, hoping they are useful to you.

  Causes of magnetism in a DW watch

  When wearing a DW watch, if it inadvertently comes into contact with objects possessing strong magnetic fields such as generators or motors, or if it is left on top of a radio or television, the DW watch will become magnetised. This causes the DW watch to keep time inaccurately or even stop completely. Should this happen, you should promptly visit a watch repair shop for professional servicing to ensure that once the DW watch is demagnetised, it will not cause further inconvenience to your daily life. Therefore, we kindly remind you to ensure that when wearing a DW watch, you keep it well away from strong magnetic fields so that you need not worry about your cherished DW watch becoming magnetised.

  Simple method for diagnosing a magnetised watch

  Purchase a compass and bring the watch close to it. If the compass needle deflects significantly, the watch is magnetised. Even if the watch is not magnetised, because it is made of steel, the compass needle will still move slightly when brought close, though the degree of deflection will be very small.

  This method can also be used to detect whether a magnetic field exists where you store your watch. Take the compass to the storage location; if the needle deflects, there is a suspicious magnetic object nearby. Household steel tools, such as pliers, often unknowingly come close to magnetic items and become magnetised, so such tools should be kept away from where watches are stored.

  How to demagnetise a DW watch?

  The correct method for using a DW demagnetiser is to first switch on the power, press the red button, hold the watch in your hand with the dial facing upwards, pass it through from top to bottom, and then repeat once. This completes the demagnetisation. However, note that the movement must not directly touch the demagnetiser, and when passing through it, you must move in a single direction only. Whether it is a mechanical DW watch or a quartz DW watch, there are moving mechanical parts inside the movement. Under the influence of a magnet, these mechanical parts are held by magnetic force and naturally cannot rotate. Once the magnet is removed and the magnetic force dissipates, the mechanism can move on its own again. Nevertheless, because the mechanical parts inside the DW watch were close to a magnet, they retain some residual magnetism. Consequently, future rotation will be significantly affected. The most obvious symptom is that the DW watch runs slow.
