Tips for Caring for Your Watches

By Brad Wilson


When you buy watches online, no matter how much money you decide to spend on them, you want to make sure they last for as long as possible. You want your watch to serve you faithfully for years, not just months. A bit of diligence and attention will go a long way.

Proper care and maintenance is essential.

If you aren't sure how to correctly care for your Timex or Casio watch, you are in luck. These tips will help keep your watch in perfect condition.

Tips for Watch Maintenance

Temperature- The performance of your watch can be affected if it is used in the wrong kind of temperature. While many watches from Timex and Casio are built to resist damage caused by low or high temperatures, some are not. High heat environments can reduce the life of your watch battery. Extreme cold on the other hand might hinder performance. Avoid using the watch in extreme conditions and check to see weather resistant features before purchasing watches online.

Is Your Watch Water Resistant?- In general, many of the outdoor watches online from Timex and Casio are resistant to water. But that's not true for every watch you buy. When you purchase your watch, make sure you look at the features it has to see whether it is water resistant. If not, you should take it off before placing your wrist in water. If it accidentally becomes wet, dry it as soon as possible to prevent as much damage as you can. To remove chlorine residue, even water resistant watches should be cleaned after swimming.

Care and Maintenance- If you truly want to extend the life of your new watch, make sure you have it serviced every three or four years to ensure it is working properly. Also, to keep the watch in tiptop shape, wipe it down at the end of every day with a soft clean cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and dirt that might keep it from functioning properly.

Find Straps and Bands of Watches Online- Watch Band- If you have a watch with a metal band, keep it out of water and clear of dirt may be all you need to do to prevent any damage from occurring during its lifetime. You will need additional care for leather straps too. Leather bands should never be exposed to water as it can cause tear. You should be careful putting on perfume as well. Leather can crack and break because of perfume. If you want to spray perfume on your wrists, spray it prior to putting the watch on your wrist and allow it to dry to reduce the amount of damage you cause to the leather.

Your watches online purchase can last for a long time. All you need is the right maintenance ritual. Use these tips to ensure they are taken care of and can keep time for years to come.
