What actions affect the life of a watch?
In daily life, many friends like to wear watches, so do you know what behaviors will affect the life of the watch?
First: vigorous exercise
Many people like to run or play basketball in their leisure time, but if they wear a watch during vigorous exercise, the watch will be subjected to strong impact or vibration, which will cause the parts to dislocate and break, and finally damage the watch. The workmanship of the watch is very fine, and the movement parts inside are very small, so it is not recommended to wear the watch during strenuous exercise.
Second: exposure to chemical products.
If we come into contact with chemical products when wearing a watch, these chemical components can easily corrode the coating of the watch.
Third: adjust the time.
The watch cannot be adjusted between 10pm and 3am. During this time, the puller on the day-pulling wheel in the watch is just in the tooth gap of the calendar ring. Adjusting the calendar will make the puller block the rotation of the calendar ring and damage the watch.
Fourth: Do not wear watches to take a hot bath.
Because of the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the case of the watch will become hot and expand, so that water vapor will enter the movement from the gap of the case. Then it condenses into water droplets. Over time, the movement will rust, which will affect the life of the watch.
Fifth: the strap.
No matter what material the strap is, it has a service life, most of which are enough for two or three years, and the leather strap is not suitable for summer wear.
Sixth: When adjusting the time, keep the hands rotating clockwise.
Try not to let the hands rotate counterclockwise. The same is true for adjusting the calendar to avoid damage to the movement.
Seventh: avoid close to strong magnetic fields.
Although the watch generally has a certain anti-magnetic ability, it is still necessary to avoid close to strong magnetic fields. For example, placing it next to electrical appliances or magnetic objects that generate magnetic fields may cause the watch to temporarily stop or be inaccurate. When your watch is determined to be magnetized, it should be professionally demagnetized.
