Common Usage Mistakes
This page explains common usage mistakes. Avoiding these issues helps reduce unnecessary wear and damage.
Purpose of This Guide
Many issues are caused by incorrect daily use.
Understanding common mistakes helps prevent avoidable problems.
Scope
- Daily wear behavior.
- Water and environment misuse.
- Operation and handling errors.
Water-Related Mistakes
Water exposure is a frequent cause of damage.
Water resistance is limited and not permanent.
Common Errors
- Wearing the watch while swimming.
- Using the watch in showers or hot water.
- Operating the crown under water.
- Assuming water resistance equals original factory standards.
Reminder: Seals degrade over time.
Water resistance should not be overestimated.
Impact and Activity Mistakes
Mechanical components are sensitive to shock.
Physical activity increases impact risk.
Common Errors
- Wearing the watch during sports.
- Dropping the watch on hard surfaces.
- Exposing the watch to vibration or repeated shocks.
Operation and Adjustment Errors
Incorrect operation may damage internal parts.
Gentle handling is required.
Common Errors
- Forcing the crown when resistance is felt.
- Overwinding the movement.
- Changing the date during restricted hours.
- Setting time roughly or too quickly.
Environment and Storage Mistakes
Storage conditions affect long-term reliability.
Poor environments accelerate wear.
Common Errors
- Leaving the watch in humid environments.
- Exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields.
- Storing near heat sources or direct sunlight.
Ignoring Warning Signs
Early symptoms should not be ignored.
Delayed response may worsen the issue.
Common Oversights
- Ignoring condensation inside the crystal.
- Continuing use despite abnormal noise.
- Ignoring sudden time deviation.
Best practice: Stop use and contact support early.
Early reporting reduces further damage risk.
User Responsibility
Proper usage is part of ownership responsibility.
Misuse may lead to avoidable damage.
Responsibility Notes
- Follow provided usage guidance.
- Avoid unapproved scenarios.
