Timepieces are supposed to last for a long time, but if you don’t take proper care for the watch it won’t last. To maximize the lifespan of your watch, just follow the specific instructions provided in the accompanying owner’s manual. To clean your watch, wipe it with soft cloth. Unless your watch is specifically designed for diving, avoid exposing a leather or fabric watch band or any watch case to water. Hot or even warm water can cause air in the case to expand therefore allowing water to penetrate the case. Avoid exposing your quarts to magnets as this can affect its time-keeping abilities.
