Maintenance and protection
1) Belt Maintenance-Steel Strip
1. How to remove the scratches on the strap? Showing moving colors under bright lights is the favorite of many watch fans. However, it is precisely because of this proud feature that as long as there is a scratch on the strap, the whole watch will be eclipsed. What if there are scratches? You can go to the watch shop to buy "K gold cloth" (or magic cloth) and wipe it yourself. If the scratch is not deep, it can be removed, or the maintenance master can clean it again during regular maintenance, but if the injury is serious, it will be handled by the master.
2. How to remove the dirt on the strap? When the steel band watch is worn for a long time, the sludge accumulated at the joint of the watch or the dirt mixed with sweat and the surface of the belt will give off an unpleasant smell. When this happens, you can gently brush the strap and seam with a soft toothbrush dipped in some toothpaste or detergent, then rinse it with clear water, wipe it with flannel, and blow dry the strap with a hair dryer. In addition, K-gold watches will change color due to oxidation when worn for a long time. In addition to giving it to the master, you can also wipe it with tooth powder, and the effect will definitely satisfy you. In jewelry watches, consumers should not only pay attention to whether there are signs of loose diamonds, but also wash the dirty parts of diamonds with a toothbrush dipped in salad. It is also a good way to soak them with jewelry syrup.
Maintenance: Watches need careful care.
Do not open the back cover of the watch at will to avoid dust entering the movement and affecting the normal work of the watch.
Don't put your watch on the radio or TV to avoid magnetization, and avoid placing it near objects with strong magnetic waves (TV, stereo, etc.). ).
When storing a timely watch for a long time, stop the watch from walking to avoid wasting the battery.
When the mechanical watch is stored for a long time, it should be wound regularly once a month to prevent the parts from being in a static state for a long time, so as to ensure the running performance of the watch machine.
Avoid placing it near drugs that are easy to emit gas or volatilize. For example, it can remove organic solvents such as water and thinner, or sprays containing gasoline, nail polish and cosmetics, as well as powerful cleaners in toilets.
Compared with the metal strap, the leather strap will be damaged by sweat and moisture, so please dry it with a soft cloth with strong water absorption as soon as possible when it is accidentally wet. In the season when sweating is easy, you can loosen the bandage to improve breathability. Please wash the soiled metal strap with soap. When the dirt is quite serious, gently brush it with a soft toothbrush (please be careful not to wet the watch body for non-waterproof watches). After cleaning, please dry it carefully with a dry cloth to avoid moisture remaining in the thin seam of the strap.
What is the function of the movable outer ring dial of sports watch?
Sports watches are generally equipped with a bezel that can rotate counterclockwise. In addition to decorating and symbolizing the modern concept of sports life, the protrusions on the bezel and the clear and readable numbers allow the wearer to accurately adjust the diving and sports time, which is absolutely reliable. The outer ring only rotates in one direction. Even if it rotates carelessly, the remaining movement time will only be shortened, not extended, ensuring safety.
What is a luminous watch? What's the difference between it and electroluminescent instrument?
Commonly known as the noctilucent watch refers to a watch whose hands or nails are coated with fluorescent powder and can be seen to glow in the dark. Another kind of luminous watch is an electroluminescent watch which appeared in the mid-1990s and can make the whole surface glow. The differences between the two are as follows:
1), the luminous instrument emits light by absorbing natural light energy, while the electroluminescent instrument relies on the electric energy of the battery.
2) The luminous instrument can only be seen in the dark, while the electroluminescent instrument can emit light at any time by pressing the corresponding button.
3) The luminous time of luminous instrument is limited by the time and intensity of absorbing light, and the luminous time of electroluminescent instrument is limited by the battery power.
How many years should the battery life of quartz watch be?
Each movement supplier's commitment to its battery life is different, generally 2-3 years, and some batteries can reach 5 years or even 10 years. Generally speaking, the thinner the movement, the smaller the battery, and the shorter the battery life. Because many other factors will also affect the battery life, such as the length and width (weight) of hands, the date of battery production and the length of watch inventory, and so on. At present, the battery life promised by our company to customers is: all models are more than 2 years.
1) Several Simple Treatment Methods of Water Intake in Watches
Method 1: If the watch is soaked in water, it can be tightly wrapped with several layers of toilet paper or absorbent flannel, placed at about 15 cm near the 40-watt bulb, and baked for about 30 minutes to eliminate the water vapor in the watch. Never bake the watch cover directly by the fire to avoid thermal deformation of the watch.
Method 2: the cover is inward, the bottom shell is outward, and it is worn on the wrist. After two hours, the moisture can be eliminated. If the water is seriously flooded, it is best to send it to the watch shop immediately to wipe the oil stain, remove the moisture from the movement and avoid the rust of the parts.
Method 3: Put the granular silica gel into a closed container together with the watch that has accumulated water. After a few hours, I took out my watch and all the accumulated water disappeared. This method is simple and economical, and has no harm to the accuracy and life of the instrument. Silica gel that absorbs water many times can be dried at 120℃ for several hours, and its water absorption capacity is renewable and can be used repeatedly.
2) Common knowledge of daily maintenance and wearing of watches
◆ Leather watches should avoid contact with water as much as possible, so as to avoid the strap from hardening and stinking, leading to fracture. Especially friends who sweat a lot, it is best not to exercise or wear it outdoors in summer.
◆ If the watch is abnormal, it should be sent to a special watch shop for repair immediately.
◆ automatic mechanical watch must wear 10 hours or more every day under the condition of sufficient activity to operate normally.
◆ Wear different watches on different occasions. For example, it is best to choose a sports watch with excellent waterproof and shockproof performance when exercising.
◆ If there is a watch marked with WATER RESESTENT or 3ATM on the watch cover, it is generally only suitable for water spraying or light rain without pressure.
◆ Special reminder: Don't wear any watch in warm water or toilet, even if your watch is waterproof, because the sealed volume of the watch is rubber, which is easy to age when heated, and the surrounding water vapor molecules are relatively small, which can easily penetrate into the case, causing damage to internal machinery.
Due to the different internal mechanical structure of each watch, under normal use, the error of mechanical watch or mechanical automatic watch is within 30 seconds per day (the sub-standard is promulgated by the national ministries and commissions), while the error of quartz watch is relatively low and accurate.
Keep common sense
1, please don't put the watch close to the magnetic object;
2. In case of water (air), it should be immediately sent to the maintenance point for cleaning to avoid corrosion of the movement;
3. If there is a protective sheet or label on the back of the watch, please take it off before use, otherwise sweat will penetrate into the backing paper, causing the back of the watch to rust;
4. Don't touch the watch with various solvents and chemicals, or the watchcase strap will change color and rust due to erosion;
