Take Care Of Your Watch

The watch is an indispensable item for those that have a tight schedule but it can also be regarded as a valuable piece of jewelry

. Most of us take really good care of our jewelry pieces and we should do the same with our watches. Here are some pieces of information that you might consider following for a better preservation of your watch.

The winding

It is crucial that you take your watch off before winding it. Try to pay extra attention to the spring because it is very fragile and it could break if handled improperly. When you feel a resistance it means that the spring is at maximum tension and you should stop. The automatic (self winding ) watch is winded when the person who is wearing it moves its wrist. If the watch has not been worn for more than 40 hours then the best thing to do is to wind it manually. An automatic watch must be winded by hand once a month.

Replacing the battery

A watch should have its battery replaced once in 18-24 months. If you have a quartz watch and the battery has stopped, make sure that you remove it as soon as you notice because it might leak and affect the interior mechanism.

Setting the time and the date

What you have to do is to unscrew the crown by pulling it. After this you have to rotate it until the hands are in the right position. The last thing you have to do is to push the crown down and then screw.

When resetting the date, one has to be particularly careful. This is because several wheels are involved in the process that can damage the interior.

Practicing sports

When you buy a watch make sure that is has a manual of instruction. Also, try to read it and see what the proper recommendations are before you practice any sports. If you play sports like tennis and football it is generally advised to take off your watch. The special sport watch can be used for many types of indoor and outdoor activities.
