Precautions for wearing watches at cold winter
Winter is so hard for us, let alone a small watch. What should we pay attention to when wearing a watch in winter? Let's look down.
Pay attention to the temperature difference
When we wear glasses from outside to indoor in winter, will the glasses fog up immediately?
The same goes for watches. Especially in the northern regions where the weather is relatively cold, the outdoor temperature is more than ten degrees below zero, and the indoor heating is more than 20 degrees. The environment has become humid.
The spectacle lenses are just two pieces of glass after all, but there are many movement parts inside the watch, which needs to be kept in a relatively dry operating environment; if the fog in your watch cannot disappear automatically, you must take the watch to a repair shop for further repairs. Checked out.
Therefore, it is recommended that when you wear a watch in winter, if you are outdoors, try to hide the watch in your sleeves or cover the watch with gloves to prevent excessive temperature differences and reduce fogging of the watch mirror.
Pay attention to antifreeze
The antifreeze mentioned here is actually mainly to prevent the lubricating oil inside the movement from being frozen, which will affect the accuracy of travel time.
In areas where the temperature is above zero in winter, it is unlikely that the lubricating oil will be frozen. People who live in areas where the temperature in winter is below zero all the year round and often need to stay outdoors should pay special attention to the antifreeze of their watches. (The method is the same as the method to prevent excessive temperature difference in the first point)
Pay attention to anti-fall
Of course, it is better to pay attention to anti-fall. In winter, the road is icy and it is very easy to slip. If a person slips and falls, the watch will not escape the nightmare of being smashed. When the time comes, maintenance will definitely cost a lot of money.
Of course, if you have been very careful, but still fall on all fours because the ground is too wet and slippery, it is better to protect yourself first and do not hit your head. At this time, your safety is the most important.
Wear belt watch as much as possible
It's not that you can't wear the steel belt style, but the steel belt style will freeze your hands in winter (no problem if you are very antifreeze). At present, the belts on the market are generally made of leather, which has a certain thermal insulation effect, and it also has more atmosphere when matched with the winter coat.
In addition, people will wear some cashmere clothes in winter, and the steel belt will inevitably scratch the clothes when they are not careful. Therefore, it is more appropriate to wear a belt watch in winter.
Don't wear your watch on your clothes
The clothes to wear in winter are thick and many, but some people want to show their watches outside, so they put them on the sleeves of their shirts or sweaters.
It is not recommended to wear this way, because the chances of repeated friction between the watch and your clothes will be greatly increased, and the watch lens and case will be more easily worn.
This kind of slight wear is hard to detect at the beginning. Over time, it will be too late to find it.
Pay attention to anti-static
The weather is dry in winter, and it is easy to get static electricity when wearing a watch. Static electricity will also affect the accuracy of the watch, especially when wearing a quartz watch, it will have a greater impact on the circuit inside the quartz watch.
We can apply proper skin care cream around our wrists or wear cotton clothes, which can effectively prevent static electricity from damaging our watches.
