Wipe regularly: Clean your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, sweat, and oils.
Avoid chemicals: Keep your watch away from perfumes, detergents, and other chemicals that can damage the finish or straps.
Avoid magnetic fields: Strong magnets can affect the accuracy of mechanical and automatic watches.
Water resistance: Know your rating: Check your watch’s water resistance (e.g., 30m, 50m, 100m). Do not exceed the rated depth.
No hot water: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and hot tubs—even for water-resistant watches. Heat can damage seals and compromise resistance.
Dry after exposure: If your watch gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth immediately.
