After the watch is worn again after being left for a long time, it often stops and stops, and the running time is inaccurate, which greatly affects its use. What should I pay attention to when using a watch that has not been worn for a long time?
Watches stop
Mechanical watches generally have this situation. This is because the kinetic energy stored inside the watch has been exhausted due to long-term non-use, causing the watch to stop.
When the watch has no other faults, manually wind it up before wearing it.
It should be noted that do not shake the watch violently, otherwise it may easily cause the watch movement to malfunction.
The time is not accurate
If the quartz watch is not accurate, you can first consider whether the battery is dead. If so, just replace it with a new one.
If it is a mechanical watch, you can check whether the movement lubricant is exhausted. Even if the mechanical watch is not worn, it should be manually wound as often as possible to keep the watch running normally and ensure the good operation of the parts.
Watches are magnetized
When the watch is near devices with magnetic fields such as ovens, induction cookers, refrigerators, magnets, etc. for a long time, it is susceptible to interference from the magnetic field, which affects the normal operation of the watch.
A quartz watch can degauss itself once it is away from the magnetic field environment. Mechanical watches need to be degaussed using professional instruments and it is recommended to send them to an after-sales service center for processing.
When the watch is not worn for a long time, it should also be well maintained. In this way, whether it is worn again or second-hand, a normally functioning watch is more worry-free.
