If you own a valuable Collectwatch, you probably want to know how to maintain and care for it to ensure that it is always in the best shape and longevity. There are a lot of common misconceptions when it comes to watch maintenance that can cause more damage to your watch than protect it.

Here are a few common misconceptions in restoring watches, as well as proper care and maintenance.

Myth 1: Never clean the surface

Watches are always exposed and the surface can easily become contaminated with grease, stains and dust. At this point, wiping the surface clean with a clean cloth is the most basic form of maintenance.

Some people may mistakenly believe that more cleaning is better, and they will frequently use soapy water or cleaners to clean the watch face, which can make the watch more fragile and susceptible to scratches and wear.

The proper way to keep your watch bright and clean is to gently wipe the face with a slightly damp cloth when needed.

Myth 2: Doing your own watch maintenance and repairs

Watches are delicate instruments that require specialized skills and knowledge to properly maintain and repair. If you are not a professional maintenance engineer, you should avoid doing so to avoid causing more damage.

The right thing to do is to regularly take your watch to a specialized repair store for regular care and maintenance.

Myth 3: Accidental Watch Drops

Watches are usually made up of many tiny parts, and delicate mechanisms are susceptible to damage or breakage. When a watch is dropped from the wrist, the internal components can be easily damaged.

The right thing to do is to buy a tempered glass protection sticker for your watch and keep an eye on your watch to see if there is anything wrong with it, and if there is something wrong with it, take it to a watch store or repair store for testing.

Myth 4: Leaving your watch in a humid and hot environment for long periods of time

The movement of a watch is made up of very fine pinions, coil springs and other mechanical parts. These parts are very delicate and need to be kept in a relatively dry and stable temperature environment.

The wrong practice is to store the watch for a long time in a place with high temperature, humidity and high mechanical dust environment. This can lead to rust and corrosion of the internal mechanical parts and affect the normal operation of the watch.

The correct practice is to store the watch in a dry, ventilated place at a stable temperature and avoid exposing the watch to light or acidic or alkaline materials for a long period of time.

When taking care of your watch, there are some common misconceptions that you need to steer clear of in order to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your watch. Following proper care and maintenance of your watch should at all times lead to taking your watch to a professional repair store for servicing and repairs. Keeping your watch stored in a dry, ventilated, temperature-stabilized environment for a long period of time will also go a long way in ensuring the longevity and durability of your watch.
