Watch Care

Everyday care

  • Wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
  • Avoid strong magnets, extreme heat and hard knocks.
  • Keep perfume, lotion and cleaning products away from the case and strap.

Water

  • Check the water resistance listed for your watch before swimming.
  • Always push in or screw down the crown before getting your watch wet.
  • Rinse with fresh water after salt water or a pool, then dry it.
  • Never operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or underwater.

Straps and bracelets

  • Steel bracelets: clean with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry well.
  • Leather and silicone straps: keep leather away from water and wipe silicone clean with a damp cloth.

Quartz watches

Replace the battery when the seconds hand starts jumping in 4-second steps. A jeweler can do this in minutes.

Automatic watches

Wear it daily or use a watch winder to keep it running. For best accuracy, have it serviced every 4–5 years.

Storage

Store your watch in its box or a soft pouch, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
