Maintaining Your La Vie Watch:
Water-Resistant Versus Waterproof
A watch marked as water immune without a depth indication is solely designed to withstand accidental splashes of water. Do not submerge such a watch. Higher levels of water resistance are indicated by progressively higher worthy of acceptance or satisfactory depths, normally conveyed in meters.
There are a potpourri of ways to make a watch water resistant. All such watches use rubber gaskets or “O” rings to seal the case back. A watch with a back that screws onto the case provides a higher degree of water resistance. Some crowns (the “winding stem”) genuinely screw into the case to further increase water resistance. ![]()
The following usage recommendations are suggested:
• Water-resistant to 30 meters (100 feet): will withstand splashes of water or rain but will have to not be worn while swimming or diving.
• Water-tested to 50 meters (165 feet): suitable for showering or swimming in shoal water.
• Water-tested to 100 meters (330 feet): suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
• Water-tested to 150 meters (500 feet): suitable for snorkeling.
• Water-tested to 200 meters (660 feet): suitable for skin diving.
• Diver’s 150 meters (500 feet): meets ISO standards and is suitable for scuba diving.
• Diver’s 200 meters (660 feet): meets ISO standards and is suitable for scuba diving.
Care for a Water Resistant Watch
It is not commended to wear your water immune watch in a hot shower, sauna or hot tub. The extreme heat causes the metal parts to exaggerate at a dissimilar rate than the rubber gaskets. This gives rise to little openings that may grant water droplets to penetrate the watch. Sudden temperature changes are specially harsh. Take care not to jump into a cold pool after wearing your watch in the hot tub.
After swimming or diving in salt water, without delay rinse the watch in a stream of fresh water. If your watch has a rotating bezel, turn the bezel various times while rinsing it. This will prevent salt buildup and corrosion of the bezel ring.
Leather straps may be made to be water immune too. Generally however, leather straps are more without apparent effort damaged by general exposure to water. So if you are going to wear your watch while swimming — think of buying one with a metal bracelet or a rubber or nylon diver strap.

Keeping Your Watch Dry
Always make sure your watch is arid after it has been exposed to water. By taking a few minutes and exhaustively drying your watch with a lint-free cloth, you will prevent rust from forming. This is a key point in ensuring the long life of your watch.
Caring for the Crystal
The crystal is the transparent share of the watch through which you tell time. As we discussed with water, a watch may have a scratch-resistant crystal, notwithstanding no crystal is genuinely scratchproof. Therefore, it is not advisable that you toss your watch onto the dresser or into a drawer at the end of the day. It’s better for the watch to store or wrap it in a soft cloth before placing it down. The more care you take with the watch, the less scratches you will end up with. Replace broken or scratched crystals immediately. Even a hairline crack may let dust or moisture into the mechanism, threatening it is accuracy. If you place the watch in a drawer with other jewelry, this too may scratch the watch, as it might rub versus the other pieces. Another suggestion would be to store the watch in it is introductory case, since these cases are in general soft and made quintessentially for the watch.

Metal Versus Leather Bands
If you participate in actions that cause exuberant sweat or perspiration, you may want to consider getting a watch with a metal bracelet or rubber strap, rather of a leather strap. Watches that have natural and authenti leather straps will gradually deteriorate with uninterrupted exposure to perspiration. Metal bracelets would best be classified as “dress” watches.
Cleaning Your Watch
The best way to clean your watch is by using a lint-free cloth and a toothpick. Use the toothpick to clean out any dirt buildup in the bracelet or casing of the watch and the cloth to wipe it clean. If it is water-resistant, give it an occasional cleaning with a mixture of warm water and a mild soap. If the strap is leather or non-metal, clean only the case.
Servicing Your Watch
Like any other piece of machinery, a watch ought to be cleaned, oiled, and serviced. Every couple of years, you may detect the watch losing time or running fast—or it may stop working altogether. Just take your watch to a local watch professional for servicing.
