A watch is more than just an accessory, it’s a precision instrument that deserves care and attention. Proper maintenance will ensure longevity, precision and lasting beauty. In this guide, we’ll look at some important tips to keep your watch running smoothly and in top condition.
1. Understand Your Watch’s Movement
At the heart of every watch is the movement (the internal mechanism that tells time) including:
-
Quartz (battery powered) – Many models have this type of movement, which is low maintenance but requires occasional battery replacement.
-
Automatic (self-winding) – Powered by wrist movement; requires regular wear or use of a winder.
-
Manual-Wind – Requires daily winding by hand.
Tip: Check the specifications of your Wishdoit watch to see what type of movement it uses.
2. Keep It Clean & Dry
-
Avoid moisture – Even water-resistant watches can suffer from prolonged exposure.
-
Wipe gently – Use a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
-
For metal bracelets – Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.
3. Store It Properly
-
Keep in a watch box or pouch – Protects from dust and scratches.
-
Avoid extreme temperatures – Heat and cold can damage the movement.
-
For automatics – Use a watch winder if not worn daily.
4. Service Your Watch Regularly
-
Quartz watches – Replace the battery every 2-3 years.
-
Mechanical watches – Get a professional servicing every 3-5 years.
-
Check for issues – If your Wishdoit watch is running slow/fast, get it inspected.
5. Handle With Care
-
Avoid shocks & drops – Even sturdy watches can be damaged by impact.
-
Wind gently – If manual, stop when you feel resistance.
-
Adjust carefully – Don’t force the crown; pull it out smoothly for time/date changes.
