Repair of the watch you requested the other day.
It was not working properly, so I looked inside and found that
It was subject to magnetism and humidity.
This year has been particularly hot and humid.
In addition, there are fewer people who do not have a smartphone.
I use a computer and a tablet on a daily basis.
Well, there's nothing that can be done about it.
The world we live in is not a good environment for watches.
Not because this is a vintage watch,
Even brand new items will inevitably be affected by magnetism and moisture.
Magnetism is not limited to home appliances such as smartphones and computers,
It could be a magnet in your wallet or bag,
Magnetic fields can also affect audio equipment such as speakers.
I once heard a customer say, "When I was cooking using the microwave, the clock stopped."
Microwaves are also household appliances with strong magnetic fields, so the impact is significant.
And humidity is something that is surprisingly easy to overlook.
Please be careful when using it in the rain or around water,
Like magnetism, moisture is invisible, so
If you think it's going to be too humid today, one solution is to not wear a watch.
You should be especially careful about humidity when purchasing a new watch that is only "water resistant for daily use."
During the rainy season and on rainy days in summer, humidity can reach nearly 90%,
In the worst cases, the environment will be 100% "underwater."
In Japan, where the humidity is so high,
Waterproofing sufficient for daily use does not keep out moisture.
Some of you may have experienced the glass of your watch becoming foggy when using it on a hot and humid day.
It fogs up in the same way as condensation on a window.
In that case, we know it's due to humidity, so that's better.
Some watches have a coating on the glass,
Some glasses are designed to be less prone to fogging,
You may not even realize that you are being affected by moisture.
Magnetism can be repaired unless there is a very good reason.
If moisture is left unattended, it can cause the movement to rust.
In the worst case scenario, the machine may not be repairable.
I hope there will be obvious symptoms that it is not working properly.
If you ignore the symptoms and leave them untreated, something that could be fixed may become irreparable.
This time, the customer noticed the abnormality so it did not require any major repairs.
This time, the basic overhaul fee is 16,500 yen, including battery replacement and shipping.
I understand that having a malfunction in your watch can be inconvenient,
Depending on how you look at it, it could be said that if you know there is a problem, it is less likely to require major repairs.
I don't know if it's better to have something that doesn't break or is less likely to break,
Please rest assured that no matter what happens, we will respond promptly!
