Caring For Your Watch
Your watch needs care and regular maintenance to ensure its accuracy and protect its appearance. However, each brand and model has its own specific care guidelines. Always refer to the manufacturer's instruction manual or warranty that came with your watch.
Avoid water damage. Check your watch's water resistance and make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions. (For information on caring for water resistant watches, find in our website.)
If water or condensation appear inside your watch face, have it checked by a watch specialist at your nearest Goldsmiths store.
Avoid leaving your watch in extreme temperatures. Generally, extreme heat can shorten the battery life of a quartz watch, and extreme cold can cause your watch to gain or lose time.
Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents and gases.
Although most watches are, to a degree, shock resistant, avoid extreme shock or impact to your watch.
Avoid exposing your watch to strong electric fields and strong static electricity. Most electrical household appliances will not affect your watch.
If your watch has been worn in salt water, and is not designed to avoid corrosion, have it checked by a watch specialist.
A watch specialist best cleans watches, including their straps.
Have your watch checked and serviced regularly by a watch specialist. The manufacturer's instructions will tell you how often you should have your watch serviced.
Caring for your watch strap
These tips will keep your watch strap looking new for longer:
Dont wear perfume or moisturizers around your wrist, as the chemicals will erode the metal, leather and plastic of watchstraps.
Avoid leaving the watch in direct sunlight, as this fades leather and plastic straps.
Metal bracelets should be washed carefully in water. If your bracelet is really dirty, use a soft toothbrush with soap and water. Finally, rinse with water and dry carefully with a soft cloth. If your watch is not water resistant, be careful not to get water on the case. Cases should be wiped gently with a slightly moistened soft cloth and then carefully dried.
Leather straps should be slightly loosened in the summer, when they may absorb perspiration. A tight strap not only prevents the passage of air over the strap undersurface but can also cause a perspiration rash on the wrist.
If the strap ever becomes wet with perspiration, wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
When you take off your watch, leave it in a well-ventilated spot. Never put it in a sealed container if it is damp with perspiration.
Special care for watches:
Shocks: Your watch is a precision instrument. Treat it carefully, and it will serve you well. Avoid undue shocks (such as dropping on hard surfaces). Normal shocks caused by sports like tennis or golf are no problem, although "Twin Seiko" (extra-high precision) watches should not be worn while participating in such sports.
Perspiration: Protect your watch from heavy perspiration. Remember to wipe it dry as soon as conveniently possible.
Extreme temperatures: Quartz watches are much less affected by temperature than mechanical watches, and are designed to keep good time if worn on the wrist for eight hours a day in temperatures between -10C and +35C. If removed completely from the wrist, your watch may lose time during the winter, but will return to normal accuracy as soon as you start wearing it again.
If your watch is stored at temperatures outside the normal range (as low as -10C or as high as +60C) the electronic components may not function normally.
At temperatures below freezing, the liquid crystals in digital watch displays respond slowly. They also tend to look very dark at high temperatures. Normal performance returns at normal temperatures.
Your battery may run out much more quickly at high temperatures (above 40C), and battery fluid may even leak out.
Chemicals: Chemical substances, gases, and so on, can discoluor cases, bracelets and straps. Mercury (from a broken thermometer, for instance) can cause particularly unsightly grey discoloration of gold plating
