Most watches have some level of water resistance. If your watch isn’t water resistant, it may be able to handle small splashes, but don’t risk it. If it has a leather band, don’t get it wet.

• Do not move the crown or push any buttons when your watch is in contact with water, as this may let water enter the case.
  
• If your watch is not water resistant, dip a cotton swab in a bowl of warm water with a drop or two of soap in. Squeeze the tip of the cotton swab to remove most of the water and gently rub the case.
  
• If your watch is water resistant, soak a soft cloth in a bowl of warm water with two drops of mild washing-up liquid added. Wring most of the water out of the cloth and gently rub the case with it.
  
  

Nylon is strong and low maintenance. It’s the go-to choice for comfort and durability among athletes and adventurers since it breathes, weighs very little, and is relatively inexpensive. However, since it is a woven strap, grime and dirt will get stuck between the threads and it’ll have to be cleaned every now and then.

1. If your watch is waterproof, start by rinsing the whole watch with room temperature water.
2. If your watch is not waterproof or water resistant, remove the strap from the case before following these instructions.
3. Submerge the strap in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to remove greasy deposits and other grime. Don’t submerge the case as the sudden change in temperature can deform the gears and springs that make up its movement.
4. If needed, use a soft brush to scrape away any dirt and repeat the process.
5. Let the watch air-dry overnight.

• Store your watch in a dark, dry place to avoid corrosion and discolouration of the dial.
• Always replace the battery on a quartz watch as soon as it runs out. With time, an empty battery may start leaking, damaging the watch’s movement.
• Run mechanical watches at least two days a year to prevent gears and cogs from sticking.
• You should always get your watch serviced by a professional every 3 years.

Rule of thumb: Make sure your watch is the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

• Take your watch off and store it safely before engaging in any activity that could damage it.
• Take it off before engaging in any activity likely to make you sweat.
• Take it off before you shower, bathe, or go for a swim.
• Take it off before cooking or cleaning.
• Take it off before you go to bed.
• Don’t expose your watch to chemicals such as cologne, sunscreen, perfume, chlorine, hair gel, etc., as these can discolour, stain, or dull surfaces.
• Try to store your watch separately in a soft enclosure to prevent scratching and rubbing.
• If your watch has closures or clasps, close these to prevent tangling.
• Keep your watch stored in a dry, dark place, and avoid heat fluctuation.

If you take care of your watch and keep it stored correctly, you should enjoy years of timekeeping precision. But even with the best care possible, you may find that your watch needs extra attention from time to time.
