How to Store Your Watch
By World of Watches •
Store a watch in a dry, cool place away from magnets, heat and direct sunlight, in a soft box or pouch. Keep solar watches in a bright spot, and give automatic watches a few turns of the crown before you next wear them.
Where To Keep It
- A watch box or soft pouch: Prevents scratches.
- A dry place: Avoid damp bathrooms.
- Away from magnets: Phones, speakers and magnetic clasps.
- Away from heat: Not on a dashboard or near a heater.
Different Watches
- Quartz: Fine in a drawer. Remove a dead battery if you will not use it for long.
- Solar: Keep it in a bright place so it stays charged.
- Automatic: It will stop. Give it a few turns and reset the time when you wear it.
Travel
Use a padded watch roll or case when you travel, and avoid leaving a watch in a hot car.
