2. Watch Strap Maintenance

The movement of the watch is properly maintained, and may not be a problem for many years. But as a consumable existence of the strap is not the same, especially the leather strap, basically is 1 ~ 2 years a change, the steel belt will also appear between the chain links become loose problem, 3 ~ 5 years a change is also the normal frequency.

So if you like the belt watch, it is a safer choice to have a few more belts. Normally when you sweat a lot, you should take off the watch, wipe it with a semi-wet soft cloth, dry it and then maintain it with leather oil, which can isolate the sweat to a certain extent and prolong the life of the strap.

The method of demagnetization is also very simple, it is not necessary to go to the maintenance organization to demagnetize, you can also prepare a demagnetizer, according to the instructions to put the watch on the demagnetization, after demagnetization, you can put a compass next to the watch, if the pointer of the compass does not have a significant vibration, it means that the demagnetization is completed.

However, the demagnetizer should not be used frequently, which will affect the service life of the watch, so usually pay attention to keep the watch away from the strong magnetic field environment, and try to prevent the watch from being magnetized is a more reliable way.

The above are some of the methods of independent maintenance of watches, which you can refer to. However, if it is a comprehensive professional maintenance including polishing, oil washing (recommended to be done once in 3~5 years), or checking and repairing of watch bumps and bruises, it should still be operated by a formal maintenance organization.
