Environmental Factors Affecting Watch Performance

Watch performance depends on storage, handling, and daily exposure. This page lists common environmental risks and practical limits.

Humidity Temperature Magnetic Fields Water & Steam Shipping Impacts

1) Moisture, Humidity, and Condensation

Moisture is a key risk for mechanical movements. Controlled storage helps reduce damp exposure.

  • We use temperature and humidity control to prevent movement dampness.
  • Controlled storage is paired with 24-hour monitoring and zoned management.

2) Temperature, Heat, and Steam

Heat and steam create higher moisture stress. This can be worse than light splashes.

  • Do not wear the watch in showering scenarios.
  • Do not wear the watch in steam environments.
  • Sauna use is not recommended.

3) Water Exposure and Durability Limits

Default water protection supports daily life contact. It does not match factory waterproof standards.

  • Default protection covers hand washing and light splashes.
  • Swimming is not recommended.
  • Seawater exposure is not recommended.
  • For non-dive models, avoid contact with large amounts of water.
Optional service: paid seal enhancement testing is available. Pressure test results can be provided.

4) Magnetic Fields

Magnetic exposure can affect mechanical watches. Avoid strong magnetic areas when possible.

  • We avoid strong magnetic zones to reduce magnetization risk.

5) Physical Impacts During Delivery

Impacts and compression can affect the watch during shipping. Protective packaging reduces damage risk.

  • We use multi-layer shock protection.
  • We use pressure-resistant outer shells.
  • We use anti-collision fillers and inner scratch layers.
