    Reasons why mechanical watches go slowly: mechanical failures caused by magnetism, insufficient power, and insufficient maintenance of the watch.

    Watch magnetization: Magnetization of the watch is one of the common reasons why the watch slows down, even if it is an anti-magnetic watch, even a non-magnetic watch can not be placed next to some electrical appliances, because some of his parts are not anti-magnetic and will still be magnetized over time. The watch is magnetized and needs to be demagnetized by a professional watch repair facility.

    Lack of power: There are two types of mechanical watches: manual and automatic. Lack of power is often an important reason for the watch to slow down or even stop.

    Mechanical watches that are wound by hand can solve the problem by winding, while watches that are self-winding are mostly due to insufficient wearing time (less than 8-10 hours a day) or people who exercise a little bit. Friends in the general office or the elderly often have a mechanical watch with insufficient power, causing the watch to slow down.

    Insufficient maintenance leads to mechanical failure: daily wear is not too careful, there are collisions and other problems, which makes the internal parts of the watch loose, resulting in inaccurate timekeeping of the watch. Dust, foreign matter, so that the gear teeth are stuck with each other, and some watches are too much or very little oil, which will make the electronic watch go badly.

    The error of a mechanical watch does not exceed 45 seconds a day, and turning in the opposite direction when winding does not have any effect. If the hairspring is not magnetized, you can adjust the speed and slow needle, and if the adjustment is not normal, you can consider changing it.

    There are also pros and cons to mechanical watches.

    A good Swiss movement generally does not have so much jet lag a day, and there are individual domestic movements that are worse and have a large jet lag (there are also individual watches that also use domestic machines, because they are cheap).

    It is better to choose a Swiss movement for mechanical watches, whether it is a Chinese brand watch (many domestic brands of watches use Swiss movements) or a foreign brand watch;

    Under normal conditions, turning the crown in the opposite direction will not affect the movement, so please rest assured.

    The situation of mechanical watches should not be going to adjust it, it is normal for mechanical watches to be slow, but it will not be so bad in a day.

    If the spring is loose, just go to the watch store and adjust it.

    There may be an impact.

    Mechanical watches go slower than normal. If the mechanical watch is slow, you need to check whether the power is insufficient, you need to check whether the power is sufficient, if the amount of movement of the automatic watch is very 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. Mechanical watches, especially fully automatic ones, require you to wear them for more than eight hours a day, and you also need a certain amount of movement before the swing can be automatically wound.

    in order to ensure normal operation. If the watch is fast, it is possible that you have winded too much, and the automatic watch should not be wound often, which is not good for the watch. In addition to this, the biggest reason is that it is magnetized, there is a component in the watch called the hairspring, this thing is most afraid of the magnetic field, the watch is close to the magnet, the hairspring will be magnetized.

    When the hairspring is magnetized, the hairspring is bonded to each other, which can improve the accuracy of the image watch at least and stop at worst. Therefore, do not put your watch in the refrigerator or TV. Watches also have a date, 50 years for mechanical watches, more than 20 years for quartz watches, but this is in the case of good maintenance, mechanical watches need to clean the movement in about two years, and quartz watches have to replace the battery.

    Lack of oil or wear and tear of internal parts of the movement may cause time problems, which need to be sent to a designated repair point for maintenance. In addition, when wearing it normally, the watch cannot be hit or bumped. Watches are very delicate, and if they are hit or dropped, they can cause loose damage to the internal parts and can also cause timekeeping problems.

    If an automatic watch is worn at room temperature for more than eight hours a day, and the error is 45 seconds for 24 hours, it is a normal error. If this error is exceeded, it needs to be adjusted, and there are the following methods.

    1. The treatment of the magnetization of the watch is very simple. You don't need to open the cover after the sale, you can directly use a demagnetizer (or called a demagnetizer, a must-have for the repairer, the market price is only a few hundred yuan) for demagnetization, and the watch can return to normal in 2 seconds.

    2. The lack of kinetic energy of the watch causes the watch to slow down. Mechanical watches need to be wound regularly to ensure that the watch has enough kinetic energy to keep time. The kinetic energy needs to be replaced.

    3. The watch has been used for too long and has not been maintained, resulting in the accumulation of oil sludge and the watch slowing down. The watch should be serviced regularly according to the time of wear.

    The reasons why a mechanical watch is slow are:

    1. Insufficient power, mechanical watches are divided into manual mechanical watches and automatic mechanical watches, insufficient power is an important reason for the watch to slow down or stop the watch, manual mechanical watches can be wound directly when slow, and the reason why automatic mechanical watches are slow is mostly because of insufficient wearing time or the arm does not maintain a normal amount of exercise, and it can be directly manually wound to supplement the power.

    2. There is no maintenance, mechanical watches are generally maintained once every 2 to 3 years, the watch is used for a long time, the lubricating oil in the movement will dry up, and the friction of each gear will produce iron filings for a long time, increasing the friction between the gears, this kind of problem only needs to clean the movement and re-refuel.

    3. Impact, the structure of the mechanical watch is complex, it is composed of hundreds of precision parts, it is very fragile, the watch is hit by a strong impact, and the parts in the movement may loosen, causing the watch to slow down or stop the watch. According to the reason why the watch is slow, you can take corresponding measures, pay attention to the winding of the manual machinery, maintain the normal amount of exercise of the automatic mechanical arm, maintain it on time, pay attention to the watch waterproof, shockproof and anti-magnetic, and send it for repair in time if there is a problem.
