Quartz watch crystals are vulnerable to scratches and corrosion. Avoid contact with sharp objects and exposure to extreme conditions or corrosive chemicals. Minor scratches can be buffed out with toothpaste on a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol for cleaning to prevent chemical reactions that could crack the crystal.Following these maintenance and emergency care guidelines can significantly enhance the lifespan and performance of your quartz watch, ensuring it remains a reliable and stylish accessory.
