  • What is the water resistancy like for wristwatches?
    The information about the watertightness of watches leads to misunderstandings again and again, since the stated meter information is usually not very meaningful. Here are a few guidelines to help you use your watch and water correctly: This information corresponds to the so-called ideal conditions. Waterproof watches also have weak points: Especially when jumping into the water and swimming, a higher water pressure can build up on the seals for a short time than the guaranteed pressure. Clocks that are cooled down after a long sunbath by jumping into the water are particularly at risk. The pressure when it hits the water surface in combination with the negative pressure caused by the cooling can lead to damage more quickly. The sealing elements wear off due to daily use, for example if improperly used. Shocks, high temperature fluctuations, sweat, but also perfumes or hand creams favor this.
