Usually waterproof watches do not need to worry too much about the problem of water, but it is not that we can completely ignore the harm of water vapor or moisture to the watch. No matter whether you are wearing a waterproof watch or not, we still have to establish these basic concepts about waterproof and moisture-proof watches. Otherwise, one day the watch really rusts or fails due to water ingress, it will be regrettable.
1. Regular waterproof testing of waterproof watches is also a key factor in making the watch last for a long time. Water resistance is not permanent, but will gradually degrade, so we recommend that your watch be pressure-tested for water resistance before each summer, just in case.
2. Although it is said that the metal case of a waterproof watch is not easy to be damaged, the waterproof gasket between the case and the bottom, the mirror and the crown is relatively not so strong, because most of the waterproof gaskets are made of rubber. As long as time goes by, the rubber material will begin to "age" slowly, and there are many factors that affect the aging of waterproof gaskets, such as temperature changes or the watch's contact with some chemical solvents such as hand sanitizer, shampoo and other factors in daily life. It affects the life of the waterproof gasket. Therefore, we can occasionally use clean water to scrub the appearance of our personal watches, but do not let it dry naturally. After cleaning, use a soft cloth to roughly wipe off the water.
3. The waterproofness of a waterproof watch is determined by three key elements, namely the case structure, the mirror fit and the integrity of the rubber ring. When a watch is assembled at the factory, all three elements determine its water resistance - but keep in mind that over time, as a watch is worn and worn, its performance will gradually decline. In addition, watches are tested for water resistance during production, not when they are sold in stores, which can be months or even years after they left the factory. There are also small cracks on the glass mirror after the customer wears it for a long time (generally people think that the small cracks on the watch mirror will not affect the wearing, but they do not know that this seriously harms the water resistance of the personal watches), the oxidation of the crown and the waterproof rubber ring on the bottom of the watch.
1. Avoid direct scouring of the watch by water sources such as high-pressure water guns, which may break through the waterproof structure of the waterproof watch.
2. Although some waterproof watches have screw-in crown designs, generally speaking, if there is moisture on the outside of the watch, it is recommended not to operate the buttons or crown, just in case.
3. Some chemical lotions such as shampoo, shower gel, cosmetics, etc., such as long-term contact with waterproof watches, may accelerate the aging and deformation of the waterproof rubber ring of the watch, so try to avoid these lotions from contacting the watch.
4. The high temperature of the hot spring and its components may cause the metal of the waterproof watch case to discolor and corrode, and it will also accelerate the aging and deformation of the waterproof rubber ring, so you must not wear the watch to take a hot bath.
5. The waterproof rubber ring of a waterproof watch is a consumable item. Usually, the watch will gradually become fatigued and brittle after wearing it for about two years, thereby reducing the waterproof effect. Therefore, remember to check the waterproof performance after wearing the watch for a period of time, and carry out some necessary maintenance by the way. , Replace the rubber ring.
6. The waterproofness of waterproof watches is not permanent. Water resistance depends on several factors, some of which are affected by how or when you wear it. Gaskets can corrode or deform, cases can fail, and even crystals can become loose or cracked. This is why we highlight why watches need maintenance every few years.
