    Each watch has a different movement type, which leads to differences in the accuracy of each watch. The watch relies on the internal mechanism to control the uniform and accurate time of the watch, because the internal mechanism of the watch is affected by many external factors, such as gravity and ambient temperature differences, which will cause errors in the watch. In general, the error of mechanical watches is calculated on a daily basis, although they are different due to the differences in the movement model and manufacturing quality of each watch, but the error is generally less than 30 seconds per day, and this degree of error is normal.

    Of course, some of the higher precision movements can have an error of about 10 seconds. In general, there are several situations that will cause the sudden increase in the timing error of the watch.

    1. Insufficient power reserve: You need to check whether the power is sufficient, if the amount of exercise of the automatic watch is small, it may also cause insufficient power reserve, you can supplement the power by manual winding, and then observe whether there is a phenomenon of fast and slow.

    2. The watch is magnetized: If the hairspring of the mechanical watch is magnetized, the watch will not be accurate.

    3. Need for maintenance: The lack of oil in the movement or the wear and aging of internal parts may cause time problems, and it needs to be sent to the designated maintenance point for maintenance services.

    4. Hit or impacted: The watch is very precise, if it is hit or hit, it may cause loose damage to the internal parts, and it may also cause time problems.

    5. In addition to the above common situations, the influence of some ambient temperature and the wearer's usage habits may cause an increase in the timing error. But you don't need to worry, please send the watch to the designated repair point for professional inspection and adjustment, and the watch can be restored to the normal error range.

    The above 5 situations are usually the reasons that may cause the watch to have a time error, once the watch has a time error, we must find the reason, so as to find the corresponding solution, to avoid other reasons can not be solved in time and cause the watch to appear more serious.

    Reasons why the watch is not running accurately:

    1. Insufficient power reserve. You need to check whether the power is sufficient, if the amount of movement of the automatic mechanical watch is small, it may also cause insufficient power reserve, you can supplement the power by manual winding, and then observe whether there is a continuous phenomenon of speed and slowness, if there is still a suggestion to send it to the after-sales center for testing.

    2. The power is insufficient. If the quartz watch suddenly finds that it is slowing, it is likely to be caused by insufficient battery energy, and send the watch to the after-sales center to check the battery or replace the battery.

    3. Having been beaten or impacted. The watch is very tight, if it is hit or fallen, it may cause loose damage to the internal parts, and it may also cause time problems, it is recommended to go to the after-sales center for testing.

    4. Maintenance is required. The lack of oil in the movement or the wear and aging of the internal parts may cause time problems, which need to be serviced and sent to the after-sales center for maintenance services.

    5. The watch is magnetized: If the hairspring of the watch is magnetized, the watch will not be accurate.

    The influence of the wearer's usage habits may cause an increase in the time error. Sending it to the after-sales center for inspection and adjustment can restore the watch to the normal error range.

    There are two situations in which the watch is not allowed.

    If it's just a little fast, for example, it's only more than ten or twenty seconds a day, then the gossamer circle is a little shorter, and this situation is okay.

    If you know a little bit about the watch, you can adjust it yourself, if you don't understand, you have to find a watch repairer.

    1. Magnetization of the watch: The watch is in too much contact with items with magnetic fields, which leads to the phenomenon of magnetization of the watch, causing the watch to be inaccurate. After being magnetized, the watch may stop, slow, or fast.

    After the watch is magnetized, its magnetism will not recede on its own, and it needs to be demagnetized to restore it to normal. Therefore, you can only go to a professional watch repair center for demagnetization so that it can return to normal.

    2. Lack of maintenance: mechanical watches are maintained every 2-3 years, and quartz watches are maintained every 4-5 years. Watch maintenance requires the movement to be completely disassembled, cleaned, oiled, reassembled, adjusted, and functionally checked; Repair or replace any worn or malfunctioning movement components.

    If the watch lacks maintenance, it will cause the parts to wear out, the sludge will dry up, affect the normal running time of the watch, and make the watch appear fast and slow. Regular maintenance of the whole machine can effectively prevent the occurrence of various failures of the watch.

    3. Mechanical failure: Mechanical failures such as watch hairspring failures, escapement system failures, and parts and components may cause the watch to appear fast and slow, so when the watch is abnormal, you can first pull out the crown and take it to a professional maintenance organization for the maintenance technician to check the reason.

    The more common reason may be a lack of kinetic energy, but some friends may say that I buy a fully automatic mechanical watch, and I don't need to wind it myself. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding, automatic mechanical watches do not need to be wound manually, but to keep the mechanical watch on the hand to wear at least 8 hours of time, because the automatic mechanical watch is the use of the arbitrary swing of the rotor to wind up, and the rotor is swinging with the movement of the arm, so if the mechanical watch needs to be worn on the hand often.

    But what if you wear it on your hand a lot and don't leave? Don't worry, it may be a lack of kinetic energy, and then we need to manually wind the clockwork.

    After passing the above methods, what should I do if I also find that the machine is not gone? Here we can rule out the reason for the lack of kinetic energy of the mechanical watch, it should be that the mechanical watch is faulty, if you are not a watch professional, it is best not to disassemble it rashly, please send it to a professional watch repairer for repair. Before the watch bar talked about the maintenance method of mechanical watches, mechanical watches need more maintenance than quartz watches, here is an emphasis on the maintenance methods of mechanical watches:

    1.If it is a manual mechanical watch, the mechanical watch should be wound regularly, and it is recommended to wind the mechanical watch around 8 pm.

    2.Automatic watches, such as insufficient arm movement, need to manually wind the watch, and the rotation of the crown needs to be controlled within 20 turns.

    3.If an automatic watch has not been worn for more than 40 hours, it is necessary to turn the crown twenty times to activate the movement's drive system.

    4.Regardless of the water resistance of the watch, it should be avoided as much as possible, and if it does, wipe it dry and make sure that the crown is locked at all times. It is best to replace the waterproof ring once a year.

    What should I do if the mechanical watch is gone? We need to establish the common sense of protection of mechanical watches in ordinary times, and when we encounter the situation that we can't go, we don't need to worry, and we can eliminate them one by one according to the above methods, which are usually caused by insufficient kinetic energy.

    Although the mainspring is still running, the oil sludge of the movement parts dries up, the friction between the parts increases, and the watch may soon stop. In addition, severe shocks and vibrations will deform and fall off the watch hands, resulting in the watch not moving, and it is also possible that the watch will stop after the crown and glass shards enter the dial, and the parts in the movement will be worn, such as loose screws and foreign objects, which may cause the watch to stop.

    The reason why a mechanical watch is slow.

    The main reasons for the slow running time of the mechanical watch are: insufficient activity and insufficient kinetic energy; The watch is magnetized; The movement oil sludge is dry, etc.

    Generally, the watch cannot adjust the watch date and time from 9 o'clock in the evening to 3 o'clock in the morning, which can easily cause problems with the internal calendar transmission wheel train of the watch, so it is forbidden for the watch to adjust the date during this time.

    Automatic mechanical watches need to be worn normally for about 8 hours a day, and the normal and appropriate amount of exercise kinetic energy is needed to support the time, and the wearing of 8 hours a day can support 36 hours of time.

    Generally, the watch is close to the magnetic field, such as placing it next to electrical appliances (such as stereos, refrigerators, computers, etc.) that generate magnetic fields, and magnetic objects (such as magnets, mobile phones) will cause magnetism, which will affect the watch to run fast or inaccurately or temporarily stop. If the oil in the watch movement is dry, it will increase the friction resistance between the parts in the watch, causing the watch parts to be damaged and unable to operate normally.

    Reasons why the watch is not running accurately:

    1. External influences: It is a variety of influences from outside the clock, depending on the working environment of the clock.

    2. Fast and slow needle: fast and slow needle is an economic structure that is convenient for time calibration, but theory and practice have confirmed that it will affect the isochronism of the system, and may also produce a bit difference, and these timing errors are relatively random and cannot be compensated or offset.

    3. Friction: Friction usually has positive and negative effects, and it has a positive aspect, such as friction wheel, friction between the automatic watch spring and the barrel, screw self-locking, etc.; On the other hand, friction can lead to a decrease in transmission efficiency and wear of parts, which can affect timing.

    4. Escapement: The influence of the escapement is mainly the impact on the balance spring system in the process of energy transfer, and the balance spring system can only maintain a fixed frequency in the case of freedom, obviously, the energy transfer process of the escapement will affect the frequency. The theory suggests that this effect decreases as the transfer process approaches the equilibrium point of the balance.

    5. Influence of temperature: The influence of temperature is mainly manifested in two aspects: first, the temperature change will change the working length of the hairspring, and at the same time change the inertia of the balance wheel, which can directly affect the timing accuracy; Secondly, the temperature change will affect the viscosity of the lubricating oil, affect the transmission efficiency, and thus affect the timing.

    6. Magnetic field: the hairspring with the greatest influence of the magnetic field can change its elastic modulus, and also deform the hairspring under the action of the magnetic field, resulting in additional stress.

    7. Balance spring: The center of gravity of the general swing frame hairspring changes with the change of the swing angle of the balance wheel, and it will produce position error under the action of gravity.

    8. Balance wheel balance: The balance of the balance wheel element directly affects the bit difference, and the static balance of the balance wheel element is a basic requirement.

    1) Insufficient power reserve: You need to check whether the power is sufficient, if the amount of movement of the self-winding mechanical watch is very small, it may also cause insufficient power reserve, you can replenish the power by manual winding, and then observe whether it continues to have the phenomenon of fast and slow.

    2) Insufficient power: If the quartz watch suddenly finds that it is slow, it is likely to be caused by insufficient battery energy, and you can send the watch to a special maintenance point to check the power.

    3) Hit or hit: The watch is very tight, if it is hit or hit, it may cause loose damage to the internal parts, and it may also cause the problem of running time.

    4) Need to maintain: The lack of oil in the movement or the wear and aging of internal parts may cause time problems, which need to be maintained, and need to be sent to the designated maintenance point for maintenance services.

    Hello There may be a lack of power Generally speaking, the normal winding is generally 30 times, basically full, (provided that you want to be full) the watch on the hand actually doesn't matter, as long as you keep it up until you can't turn it, the mainspring is full.

    For automatic watches, because most automatic watches can be wound by hand, especially when worn for the first time or after stopping, you need to start the winding with your hand first.

    It is recommended that you do not rely on the rotor to load the full string) Everyone also knows that because the automatic watch is "not up to the string", it is recommended that the number of winding times of the automatic watch should be more than less, and you may wish to put a few more, such as up to 40 times, it is basically guaranteed to be full.

    Guangcheng Watch Company thinks that 1. The accuracy of the mechanical watch is determined by the oscillation system, and when the number of vibrations of the balance wheel per unit time in the oscillation system increases, then the mechanical watch will go faster. The oscillation frequency of the balance wheel is controlled by the hairspring, and when the watch goes faster, we can adjust the hairspring that can be retracted and released to make it longer.

    2. The magnetization of the watch will also cause the phenomenon that the mechanical watch will become faster, and there are many steel wheels of different sizes inside the mechanical watch, and these parts are very easy to be magnetized, and the hairspring is also relatively easy to be magnetized. When the hairspring is more magnetic, it will make the hairspring ring sticky, lap and other phenomena, which may cause the watch to be two or three hours faster.

    3. Under normal circumstances, the balance of the balance wheel and balance spring of the movement with poor quality is generally not very stable, especially when the balance wheel balance is very bad, it will cause the balance wheel to highlight the superficial precision change under a certain swing, which will cause the watch to go faster.

    4. Due to the structure of the mechanical watch, it is impossible to have no error. Even if the vibration frequency of a mechanical watch is increased, it will still be affected by the gravitational pull of the earth, and the error of the watch will be different in the vertical or horizontal plane. In the case of tightness, the mainspring will also have different errors.

    Therefore, as long as the mechanical watch does not exceed the error range, it is also a normal phenomenon.
