What are the restricted areas for wearing watches?

The forbidden area I'm talking about here is taboo, so here, let's popularize the precautions for wearing watches and briefly introduce some common misunderstandings!

1. The waterproof depth of watches is 30M and 50M, which really doesn't mean that water won't enter under 30M or 50M. 30M and 50M are waterproof only in daily life and cannot be worn when swimming.

2. All watches, including diving watches, should not wear hot baths or saunas. According to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the watch case will burst and expand, and water vapor will enter the movement from the gap of the watch case and then condense into water droplets. Over time, the movement will rust.

3. The leather strap, whether cowhide or crocodile skin, has a service life. Generally speaking, it should be replaced after two to three years.

4。 You'd better not wear a watch when you are engaged in outdoor sports. High-speed vibration at the wrist will damage the movement of the watch.

If you don't wear a mechanical watch for a long time, you should wind it regularly. Of course, if conditions permit, it would be better to buy a watch shaker to store watches.

6. There is an error in the mechanical watch, which is bigger than the quartz watch. If you can't accept the error, buy a quartz watch or an electronic watch.

7. For watches with calendar function, it is best not to adjust the calendar of the watch from the night when the watch shows the time 10 to 2 am. Once or twice may be nothing, too much adjustment may cause damage to the movement of the watch.

8. If you wear a belt watch, you'd better have a pair of nylon or rubber straps in summer. Because it is easy to sweat in summer, the damage of sweat to the belt is still relatively large.

The forbidden areas for wearing watches are usually magnetic fields, vibration and water ingress.

Many objects in life will magnetize mechanical watches, such as mobile phones, microwave ovens, computer speakers and so on. The most direct reaction after being magnetized is that the watch goes much faster than usual, sometimes even ten minutes faster a day.

It is also very simple to handle, just go to the official after-sales degaussing. Be careful not to put your watch with these objects at ordinary times.

Relatively speaking, vibration will have a greater impact on mechanical watches. It will not only affect the stability of the movement, but even lead to the fracture of the pendulum shaft in serious cases, and the maintenance cost is not low.

So please don't wear a mechanical watch to engage in strenuous sports, such as golf, badminton and tennis.

Sometimes it's because you know nothing about watches. For example, wear swimming when you see the words waterproof for 30 meters, or take a shower with a watch. These are all undesirable. A watch that is waterproof for 30 meters is only waterproof for life. It can handle washing hands and faces, but if you want to swim with it, it should be at least waterproof 100 meters, and it is best to have a screw-in crown.

As for bathing, waterproof watches are not suitable for more than meters. Because bathing generally uses hot water, according to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, water molecules can easily penetrate into the watch case. Of course, wearing a watch once or twice in the shower may be nothing, but in the long run, it is likely to cause water to enter the watch.

Finally, adjust the calendar. Many mechanical watches have a calendar forbidden zone. If it is safer, it is best not to adjust the calendar quickly at night. If you really want to adjust, you can adjust the calendar by adjusting the time (for example, adjust the calendar for two hours +02 hours).

I think the taboo of wearing a watch is nothing more than waterproof, antimagnetic and shockproof, and the technology is developing. The reality is that a very ordinary watch can also achieve three defenses. How about the workmanship of brand watches? As long as it is not a particularly harsh environment and is not intentionally damaged by impact, it will not hurt the watches.

As a high-precision timer and fashionable artistic ornament in modern society, the correct use and maintenance of watches in the wearing process is extremely important. As a watch enthusiast, it is necessary to know the restricted area of watches. The word "forbidden zone" should be familiar to friends who are familiar with mechanical watches. The so-called "forbidden zone" concept is self-evident, that is, it is insurmountable and inviolable. In fact, many people don't know that this makes their love watches suffer unnecessary "pain". So, what are the "forbidden zones" for wearing watches? Next, Miss Gao will briefly introduce some common misunderstandings of "wearing a watch"!

First, the waterproof depth of the watch does not mean how deep it can enter the water, but represents the waterproof level. Watches with daily waterproof level can't be worn when swimming, because its waterproof level is not yet available.

Second, all watches should not be worn in a hot bath. Because of the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the case will become thermal expansion, so that water vapor will enter the movement from the gap between the cases.

Third, it is not suitable to wear watches during strenuous outdoor sports, such as playing ball games.

4. For watches with calendar function, it is best not to adjust the calendar between 10 and 2 am, which may damage the movement of the watch.

5. Although watches generally have a certain anti-magnetic ability, it is still necessary to avoid being close to strong magnetic fields. For example, placing them next to electrical appliances or magnetic objects may cause the watches to temporarily stop or not turn. When your watch is magnetized, you can be a professional degausser.

More and more people wear watches, but most people don't know much about watches. Watches are very precise. If used properly, they can prolong their service life, otherwise they will be easily damaged. I understand that the watch-wearing forbidden zone is something that will damage the watch when wearing it! What should I pay attention to at ordinary times?

1, avoid vibration

The shockproof and non-shockproof of watches are only relative. Because of the protection of anti-shock devices, the anti-shock ability of anti-shock watches is indeed much stronger than that of non-shock watches, but there are limits. If it exceeds the limit, it will not play a role in earthquake prevention. Therefore, when using watches in daily life, we should also pay attention to avoid vibration, especially violent vibration!

2, don't take waterproof rice as depth!

Waterproof performance grades of watches: sweat-proof, waterproof, 30M waterproof (30m, 3ATM, 3BAR), 50M waterproof (50m, 5ATM, 5BAR), diving watch 100m waterproof, 200m waterproof, 300m waterproof, etc.

A waterproof meter of 30 meters (3 atmospheres, that is, 3 atmospheres) can be used for daily grooming or raining, that is, water droplets only splash on the surface without any water pressure being added to the meter. There is almost no difference between 50 meters and 30 meters. 100 meter waterproof meter can be used for swimming and general housework, and waterproof meters over 200 meters can be used for underwater work such as swimming and diving.

3, the watch is not waterproof steam

Wash your hands with hot water, take a bath with a watch, and take a sauna ... These are best not done. One more thing, a good diving watch is not afraid of hot water and has better air tightness, but don't ignore the most important thing: waterproof ring! Maybe it's okay to come once, but not a few more times. If the waterproof ring is damaged or the aging of the waterproof ring is accelerated, water will enter!

4, don't use in the magnetic field

The magnetization of the watch will affect the accuracy of walking time. In order to meet the requirements of mechanical properties, the escape wheel, axle and other parts of anti-magnetic watches must be made of high carbon steel, which is easy to be magnetized. Therefore, antimagnetic watches should also pay attention to antimagnetic.

5. Watch adjusts the forbidden area of the calendar

8 pm to 2 am the next day!

6, leather strap attention

Try to avoid contact between leather strap and water. Don't pull the watch with a belt. The strap is often fixed in a position that is prone to cracks. The more bent the belt is, the easier it is to break. Folding buckle is recommended here.

7. Pay attention when you don't wear your watch.

Wind 1-2 times a month to keep the watch running flexibly. Do not mix with volatile chemicals such as camphor, cosmetics, acid and alkali when storing.

8. Temperature affects walking (unpopular knowledge)

Don't put your watch in an environment that is too hot or too cold. If it is too hot, the air in the table will bubble, the parts will rust and the operation will fail; If it is too cold, the lubricating oil in the watch will condense and the mechanical watch will slow down. However, the current technology has greatly reduced the influence of temperature on mechanical watches, as long as it is not a bad environment, there is no problem.

Forbidden area 1: Do not open the watch cover casually. Some people think they can repair the watch, or want to appreciate the appearance of the movement, and then open the watch cover by themselves. This is a very serious mistake, which is extremely harmful to sports.

Forbidden Zone 2: Don't take a shower with your watch on. Many watches are marked with waterproof signs such as 30 meters and 50 meters, but this is only to prevent domestic water use, such as washing hands and faces. Wearing a watch to take a bath is very harmful to the watch.

Forbidden Zone 3: Don't do strenuous exercise with your watch on. First of all, the dress watch itself is exquisite. You'd better not wear it for running, let alone playing golf, although it looks handsome. And some so-called sports style watches are actually just sports styles, and you can't wear sports at all, such as Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak series.

Forbidden area 4: Don't let the watch be magnetized. In other words, something away from strong magnetic fields, such as a stereo.

Forbidden Zone 5: Do not adjust the calendar from 9: 00 pm to 3: 00 am. During this period, the gears that change the calendar begin to mesh with each other. If the calendar is adjusted manually, it is easy to cause gear damage or dislocation.

Six forbidden zones for wearing watches

As a high-precision timing instrument and fashionable artistic decoration in modern society, the correct use and maintenance of watches in the process of wearing are extremely important.

As a watch lover, do you really know how to extend the "life" of watches? Can an antimagnetic watch really be used in a strong magnetic environment? Can I wear a waterproof watch when swimming? Is there a "forbidden zone" for adjusting the calendar? Do you know all this? The following is a detailed interpretation of the six forbidden zones in the process of wearing watches.

Generally, waterproof watches can't be taken to swim.

In the eyes of many people, it is wrong to think that my watch is waterproof and waterproof, so I don't have to take it off when swimming.

Ordinary waterproof watches are not swimming or diving watches. Although sealing measures are adopted to prevent water splashing and the intrusion of daily sweat, they cannot be submerged in water.

The waterproof depth in meters or atmospheric pressure marked on general waterproof watches is the theoretical waterproof depth when conducting waterproof tests in the laboratory. During the test, the watch and water are in a constant temperature and static state.

This kind of constant temperature stillness does not exist in real life. So wearing a watch in water will greatly increase the water pressure of the watch. Therefore, it is best not to wear ordinary waterproof watches to swim or take a bath in the sauna in life.

Influence of chemical substances on the appearance of watches

The exterior parts of many watches, such as watchbands and cases, are all gold-plated, chrome-plated or titanium carbide, and the coating is very thin. Some watchcases and watchbands are themselves plastic shells.

After the thermometer breaks, the appearance of the watch or its coating will change color, corrode or even delaminate when it is contacted and corroded by chemicals such as gasoline, alcohol, paint, cosmetics, sprays, pesticides, water solvents of medicines, mercury, etc.

Therefore, in the daily wearing process of the watch, contact with the above chemicals and corrosion by acid, alkali and salt should be avoided as far as possible, so as not to damage the appearance of the watch and affect its beauty and use.

The "forbidden zone" when adjusting the watch calendar

If the calendar watch can't use the speed dial mechanism to change the date at some time during work, this time is called "forbidden zone".

During the "forbidden zone", the dial head on the dial wheel in the calendar mechanism is just in the tooth gap of the calendar ring. At this time, if you use the quick dial to adjust the calendar, the rotation of the calendar circle will be hindered by the dial head, which will inevitably damage the parts. So you can't adjust the calendar quickly during the "forbidden zone".

However, calendar watches with "forbidden zones" are mostly "slow-crawling" calendar institutions. The change of a day begins at about 10 in the afternoon and ends at about 12 in the afternoon. Its dial head and dial wheel are a fixed steel body.

Nowadays, most of the instant jump calendars and fast climb calendars use elastic dial heads, which eliminates the forbidden area to some extent. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended that you choose to make quick calendar adjustments during the day. Watches cannot be stored with camphor.

Mothballs such as natural camphor, artificial camphor and coal tar brain are all highly volatile substances.

Camphor volatilizes all the time, and the "mothballs" placed in wardrobes and boxes gradually become smaller, which is the result of camphor volatilization. The volatile molecules of camphor easily react with the lubricating oil in the watch movement, which makes the lubricating oil deteriorate and lose its lubricating effect. In this way, the watch can't move normally, which directly affects the travel accuracy and service life.

So don't store camphor in your watches. When the watch needs to be stored for a long time, you should choose a dry, clean place that is not exposed to direct sunlight, and use the watch to walk every few months to prevent it from being too greasy for a long time and affecting walking.

Watches cannot be used in strong magnetic fields.

The antimagnetic ability of general mechanical watches can only achieve a limited range of antimagnetic effects. If it exceeds its antimagnetic ability, the steel parts in the watch will be magnetized, and the hairspring will also be affected, which will lead to the watch's inaccurate walking, slow walking and fast walking, and even serious stopping.

Some people will wonder, then my watch is not a mechanical watch, but a quartz watch. Will it have an impact? Although there are few steel parts in quartz watches, the strong magnetic field will also interfere with the normal operation of the rotor.

Therefore, ordinary watches can not be used in the environment of strong magnetic field, let alone placed on electromagnets, speakers, generators, transformers and large electrical equipment.

Watches are afraid of violent vibration and impact.

Watches are precise timekeeping tools with tiny parts. The mechanical watch can only rely on the shock-proof performance of the shock-proof device to prevent vibration to a certain extent. If they are beyond the effective range of the shock-proof device, the tip of the pendulum will be damaged first. In addition, other parts in the robot watch, such as hairspring, drilling hole and shaft tip, will also fail or be damaged due to violent vibration.

Although quartz watches have no vulnerable parts such as needle tip and hairspring, large impact will also cause damage to electronic components and affect the use of watches.

At present, many watches are made of ceramics, cemented carbide, sapphire glass and other materials. Although these materials have high hardness and good wear resistance, they will break when they are suddenly dropped or hit. Therefore, we remind everyone not to wear watches when participating in sports activities or strenuous exercise, so as not to cause unnecessary injuries.

In fact, in my opinion, wearing a watch is ok as long as it is suitable for the occasion. As a man in his twenties, I only have two watches, one is Tissot Rolex, the other is DW, the other is formal and the other is casual. Although many people in daniel wellington don't like it, nylon belts are really casual. Taboos for wearing watches come from occasions and can be worn normally.

I feel that even expensive watches are often worn on my wrist over the years, and there are few forbidden areas. So far, magnetism has the greatest influence on the operation of modern watches, especially the magnetic stripe of daily household appliances, bags and refrigerator sliding doors, which will have an impact on most watches.

For people who are often exposed to magnetism in their work and life, it is necessary to degauss without wearing a watch or often with it. Ordinary people should avoid putting their watches near electrical appliances in their daily lives, and avoid letting them approach and rubbing refrigerators and bags that may have magnets. In addition, waterproof is also a matter that needs attention. Although there are not many opportunities for watch water to directly invade, there is still a great chance for water vapor to penetrate.

The 30-meter waterproof dress watch is generally not suitable for swimming, nor can you wear a watch or even a professional diving watch sauna, which is particularly easy to cause water vapor to penetrate into the watch case. Finally, violent collision will hurt people and damage watches. Generally, it is better to avoid it as much as possible.

Adjust the time in the early morning

Some people wear watches with good chains, and some people change their watches as soon as they adjust the time.

Mechanical watches with calendar function are divided into slow climbing calendars and fast climbing calendars. At present, most mechanical watches use slow-climbing calendars, which jump gradually around midnight. It is normal to jump before 2 am, and some watches finish jumping at 4 am. The internal gear works all the time, which can prolong the service life of the watch.

Say human words is:

The time can be adjusted at any time, but the date

It's easy to adjust your watch from 9 pm to 3 am.

It's easy to adjust your watch from 9 pm to 3 am.

It's easy to adjust your watch from 9 pm to 3 am.

Some watches run from 8 pm to 4 am, so don't adjust the date.

For watches with date display function, the crown generally has two gears.

0 position: the watch works normally.

1 gear: date adjustment/week.

Second gear position: time adjustment

First, turn the crown and set it to the second gear. Adjust the time clockwise so that the pointer is located in the lower half of the dial. For example, dial at 6: 30, because you can get off work at 6: 30. This is to protect the mechanical gear inside the watch.

Second, push to the first gear, rotate upward, and adjust the date to the day before the correct date. (For example, today is the 24th, so change it to the 23rd. )

Third, set the crown to the second gear again, adjust the time clockwise, and make the calendar change from small to large until the date automatically goes to the 24th.

There are still some small points to pay attention to. Not every month of 3 1 day needs to be adjusted. On the morning of 30th, it should be directly adjusted to 3 1, waiting for automatic jump the next day.

Please always turn on the timing function of the chronograph.

After the timer function is turned on, the swing of the balance wheel of the watch has the greatest influence. Because more gears are driven, the friction increases and the swing decreases. When other conditions remain unchanged, the swing becomes lower, which means that the watch is more susceptible to external vibration, resulting in accuracy errors.

It is worth noting that a lower swing does not mean that the watch is slow. In actual wear, the watch with reduced swing may slow down or become faster after being disturbed by the outside world. But in any case, after the timing function is turned on, the watch is definitely more prone to precision errors than before.

Although most timepieces are two different gear trains, the energy source is the same. After starting the timing function, the more energy is naturally consumed without changing the total energy. Metaphorically, it's like eating at home alone before. Now, under the condition that the total family income has not increased, the monthly living expenses will naturally be consumed faster after adding one person.

In other words, after starting the timer, the watch will stop running ahead of time, and there is no continuous energy supplement.
