Extend the life of your timepiece with our complete watch care guide — from daily habits to when it's time for a service.
A well-cared-for watch can last generations. With the right maintenance routine, yours will keep looking and running its best. Here's our complete guide.
Daily Habits
Wipe your case and strap with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove sweat and oils. Avoid knocking the crown or bezel against hard surfaces.
Water Resistance
Know your watch's water resistance rating before swimming or showering with it. Rinse with fresh water after any saltwater or chlorine exposure.
Storage
Store watches away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A watch box or soft pouch prevents scratches when you're not wearing it.
Servicing
Automatic and mechanical movements benefit from a professional service every 3-5 years to keep them accurate and properly sealed against moisture.
