Care and Maintenance of Promotional Watches
Promotional watches are valuable items that require proper care and maintenance to ensure they function correctly and maintain their appearance. Here are some key care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, sweat, or dirt. Use a damp cloth for water-resistant watches, avoiding water contact with leather straps.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep them away from extreme heat or cold, which can affect battery life and lubricants in the movement.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid placing the watch near electronic devices or magnets, as these can affect the timekeeping accuracy.
- Water Resistance: Know their water resistance level and avoid exposing it to water beyond its limit, especially for non-water-resistant models.
- Servicing: Have the watch serviced regularly, especially for mechanical models, to ensure the movement stays in good working order.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the battery promptly in quartz watches to avoid leaks that could damage the internal components.
- Strap Care: Care for the strap according to its material, using appropriate cleaners for metal, leather, or synthetic bands and checking for wear and tear.
FAQs About Personalised Watches
How often should a watch be serviced?
Mechanical watches should be serviced every 3 to 5 years, while quartz watches require less frequent servicing, mainly when battery replacement or performance issues arise.
Can I replace their battery myself?
While it’s possible to replace the battery yourself in some quartz watches, it’s recommended to have it done by a professional to ensure the water resistance and integrity of the watch are maintained.
What should I do if my watch gets wet?
If it’s water-resistant, dry it with a soft cloth. If it’s not water-resistant and gets submerged, take it to a watch repair specialist immediately to prevent damage.
How can I tell if it is water-resistant?
Check the case back or dial for water resistance markings, which indicate the level of water pressure the watch can withstand, usually measured in meters or atmospheres.
Why has my automatic watch stopped working?
These require movement to wind the mainspring and keep the watch running. If not worn for a while, they may stop and need to be manually wound or worn to maintain power.
