Five Key Maintenance Tips for Ladies’ Watches[/size]
1. Exterior Care: Keep your ladies’ watch away from solvents, mercury, cosmetic sprays, cleaners, adhesives, paint, and mothballs to prevent discoloration, deterioration, or damage. Avoid environments with camphor as it can decompose the grease, affecting lubrication and timekeeping accuracy.
2. Waterproof Maintenance: Waterproofing is indicated by “WATERRESISTANT” on the case back. With varying degrees of water resistance, it’s important to understand your watch’s limits and avoid exposing it to conditions it can’t handle, like bathing or sauna visits. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the waterproof seals remain effective. Always keep the crown locked to prevent moisture ingress.
3. Movement Care: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature changes and immersion to maintain its movement and accuracy. Magnetic fields can also affect a watch’s timekeeping, so keep it away from magnets. Keep your watch separate from makeup products to avoid contamination and ensure it doesn’t get stored near mothballs to prevent lubricant congealing.
4. Strap Considerations: Adjust the strap length for comfort. A strap that’s too long can cause the watch to bump into objects more easily, potentially leading to damage or breakage of the strap and watch lugs.
5. Battery Care: Ladies’ watches are fitted with high-energy single-use batteries with an average lifespan of about 18 months. Kinetic and solar-powered watches use rechargeable batteries that generally don’t need replacement. Prompt battery replacement upon depletion can prevent damage from leakage.
Adhering to these maintenance guidelines will ensure your ladies’ watch remains a cherished and functioning accessory for years to come.
