How to extend the service life of a watch?

　　No matter what brand of luxury watch it is, it has a certain service life. To extend this lifespan, proper daily maintenance is essential. So how should we look after our watches? Below, Big Brother shares maintenance methods to help extend your watch's service life.

　　Maintenance methods to extend watch lifespan

　　1, Temperature

　　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.

　　2, Water resistance

　　In our daily lives, the water resistance of ordinary watches is only 30M to 50M, and the 30M rating in water resistance standards is only splash-proof, allowing you to wear it while washing your hands and face. While a 50M rating can handle being rinsed with a small amount of water, it is still not recommended, and it must not be immersed. A 100M water resistance can be used in swimming pools or at the surface of the sea, and diving is only permitted at 200M and above.

　　3, Strap

　　Sweat from the wrist is the primary factor damaging the strap. Leather straps are extremely difficult to clean of sweat stains, and prolonged wear will produce odours or stiffening; steel bracelets are also prone to slipping when stained with sweat.

　　4 and dust

　　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.

　　5 and avoid severe shocks

　　Although watches have a certain level of shock resistance, it is limited, and exceeding this range may cause damage to the watch. Many watch exterior components already use materials such as ceramics, cemented carbide, and sapphire crystal. Despite the high hardness and wear resistance of these materials, they can still crack if dropped or impacted suddenly. Therefore, it is best not to wear a watch during occasions involving strenuous exercise. For example, do not wear any watch other than a professional golf watch while playing golf.

　　Precautions for watch maintenance

　　1. Do not use the watch in hot baths, saunas, or environments with significant temperature fluctuations (including water-resistant watches).

　　2. Do not operate the watch buttons or adjust the crown while underwater.

　　3. Please clean the bracelet and case regularly; for leather straps, avoid contact with water, moisture, and cosmetics, and keep them out of direct sunlight.

　　4. Please keep the watch away from magnetic fields; avoid prolonged proximity to electrical appliances, mobile phones, and magnets.

　　5. Do not disassemble the watch under any circumstances.
