  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.

  Review:

  The watch is paired with a rubber strap, giving it a highly sporty look.

  Compared to the previous version, the angle of the hexagonal screws on the front is now more precise.

  The printing and reflective effect of the date display are now more similar to the genuine article.

  The dial and indices are identical to the genuine version, successfully recreating the beautiful, textured three-dimensional relief found on the original.

  The watch has a pragmatic and minimalist overall aesthetic, with 8 white gold screws on the stainless steel case highlighting a strong industrial style.

  On the black grid-pattern dial, the hour and minute hands as well as the indices feature luminescence, ensuring you can accurately read the time even in darker environments.


  Conclusion:These are three common misconceptions regarding watch care that you should pay special attention to when maintaining your timepiece.
