If you have a watch, you're going to want to look after it as much as possible. The problem is that due to you always having it on your wrist, it is exposed to all kinds of circumstances and elements. If you have a luxury watch, this is especially important. It's important to understand that the more you look after your watch, the longer it will last and the nicer it will look for longer. 

All too often, people receive a luxury watch or spend their hard-earned money on a watch, and then forget to give it the care and attention it requires. If you fail to care for your watch, then you could risk your watch becoming in bad condition. Let's help prevent that from happening. In this article, we will go through some of the top watch care tips for 2023. 

Clean Your Watch Regularly

It’s always best to regularly clean the exterior of your watch on a bi-weekly basis. Due to our body naturally producing oil and the watch being exposed to outdoor grime, it will make your watch dirty. Dirt can in turn cause the watch to look dull and damage the links and block the dials, so it's essential to clean your watch regularly. To prevent the piece from getting overly dirty, swapping your watch bracelet for a NATO watch strap will help to make cleaning the watch much easier.  

When you go out, you are absolutely going to want your watch to look its best. It is best to clean with a microfibre cloth or a jewellery cloth as this can help the look significantly. It will remove moisture, dirt and any build-ups. 

Correct Storing

Whether you are off on your travels or storing your watch at home, it should be stored in a watch case that is pointed away from sunlight and kept away from heat. When you store a watch in a quality watch case, it will prevent it from getting scratched and preserve the watch in great condition. 

Many will place their watch back in the box that it came in, but this isn’t recommended as it can damage the box. If you ever want to resell the piece, then this will hinder the profits you make. 

Service Your Watch Every Year

One of the most important methods in caring for your watch is by getting it regularly serviced. Often, your watch will come with a handbook that tells you how often you should go and get your watch serviced, but to be on the safe side, once a year will do well to ensure your watch is running like new for longer. 

If your watch needs maintenance work before the next service, it's best to have a small tool kit that will allow you to do the basics yourself such as altering the strap adjustments, changing the strap and even changing the battery if you are comfortable. 

There are many methods to caring for your watch, but by following these simple tips you will ensure your watch is looking and working as new as the day you purchased it.
