What are the misconceptions about watch maintenance?
When we buy a favourite watch, carrying out daily maintenance is essential. However, while caring for your cherished watch, do you know what the misconceptions about watch maintenance are? Today, I will tell you about the misconceptions of watch maintenance, hoping to draw your attention.
Common misconceptions in watch maintenance
Watch maintenance misconception one: Sapphire crystal glasses are scratch-resistant
While sapphire crystal glass is second in hardness only to diamond, this does not mean it is completely scratch-proof. Therefore, during wear, you should take special care to avoid diamonds, sharpening stones, sandpaper, nail files, granite surfaces, concrete walls, etc., to prevent scratching the exterior of the watch.
Watch maintenance misconception two: Ignoring a watch when it is not being worn
Mechanical watches that are not used for a long time should be cleaned, oiled, and stored away. To prevent the oil inside the watch from drying out, you should also wind the mainspring 1-2 times every month when idle to keep the watch running smoothly. For quartz watches that are not used for a long time and have no power, the battery should also be removed, as dead batteries are prone to alkali creeping and leaking issues.
Watch maintenance misconception three: The magnetic clasp of the belt
Both mechanical and quartz watches are vulnerable to magnetic fields. Electrical appliances and computers are well-known sources of strong magnetic fields, yet few people realise that magnetic clasps on items worn closest to us, such as handbags or belts, are also prime magnets for magnetism. Magnetism is the primary cause of inaccurate timekeeping in watches, and should a watch become magnetised, it must be sent to a professional repair centre for demagnetisation using specialised equipment.
