Can a silicone watch be waterproof? How is the watch waterproof? Can it prevent hot water?

No, generally watches with this design do not have a life waterproof function.

Yes, silicone is inherently waterproof!

It is best not to take a bath with it, because the water temperature difference is too large, which will cause the sealing ring to expand and contract, resulting in water ingress; General handwashing is not a big problem.

This kind of watch does not have a waterproof ring, it should not be waterproof, and it is not okay to take a bath.

This kind of thing should not be waterproof, there is no waterproof ring.

The most important thing for a watch to be waterproof is the sealing ring, or O-ream, or I-ream, which is made of rubber, nylon or Teflon, which forms a waterproof seal on the glass, the rim, the case back and the joint between the jaw and the case. The degree of sealing is the waterproof level, and the common marks are: 30m, 50m, 100m, 200m, etc.

In addition, the thickness and material of the case determine whether a watch is safe to wear underwater. As a rule, watches labelled with water resistance must reach two atmospheres (2 bar). The detection method is:

Hold pressure at 2 bar for 60 seconds and the air flow should not exceed 50 micrograms.

Why isn't it labeled "completely waterproof"? According to the Code issued by the Federal Trade Commission of the United States, a seller of a watch may not mark his watch as "fully water-resistant". Even if the watch is designed for deep-sea diving, it cannot be claimed to be completely water-resistant.

In other words, there is no such thing as a watch that is absolutely water-resistant.

Precautions during the use of water-resistant watches:

Wearing a waterproof watch for swimming chooses a 100m waterproof watch, which is safer. Although the ordinary 30m waterproof meter can withstand 3 atmospheres, its detection premise is under laboratory conditions, that is, the temperature is 20-25°, and the water and the meter are stationary. When swimming, the watch and the water are relatively moving, with a certain impact, and the pressure between the water and the watch is often much greater than 3 atmospheres.

As a result, the watch is susceptible to water ingress.

The waterproof meter does not allow hot baths and saunas. In addition, according to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, each component of the watch is different due to different materials, shapes and sizes, and when the temperature changes greatly, the amount of expansion and contraction deformation is different, and it is easy to produce tiny gaps, causing water to enter the watch. Occasionally, there is no water ingress in the watch, which means that the watch is waterproof, but in the long run, it will accelerate the aging of the waterproof parts of the watch and affect the normal service life of the watch.

The watch that has been flooded is still waterproof when it is tested on the waterproof machine, which is caused by improper use, and the cold and heat (such as exposure to the sun or the air-conditioned room with low temperature) cause the waterproof parts of the watch to be instantly deformed, and the water vapor enters, and the environment is normal, and the waterproof parts return to normal, and still have the waterproof function.

1. Try not to take a shower with a watch;

2. From the function of the watch, each watch has a waterproof function, but from the maintenance of the watch, the waterproof watch can not be worn in the bath and sauna, according to the principle of heat expansion and cold contraction, the components of the watch are different due to the material, shape, size, when the temperature changes greatly, its expansion and contraction deformation is different, it is easy to produce tiny gaps, causing the watch to enter the water, occasionally no water, indicating that the watch waterproof performance is good, but in the long run, it will also accelerate the aging of the watch waterproof parts, affecting the normal service life of the watch, As far as I know, there are no watches that can be used for hot baths or saunas. No watch should be worn in a hot shower. Because the waterproof rubber ring will cause a certain degree of damage due to thermal expansion and cold contraction, so that its waterproof effect is reduced.

After the water vapor enters the inside of the watch, after taking a bath and cooling, the waterproof rubber ring returns to its original state, resulting in the water vapor not being dissipated, and accumulating inside the movement, which will slowly rust the movement. Serious damage to the movement. Causes the watch to stop.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to take a hot shower while wearing a watch.

No, I can't. There are no watches on the market that can be used for hot baths or saunas, and the difference between the temperature under these two conditions and the temperature of the water resistance test is too large. Secondly, solid substances have the nature of thermal expansion and contraction, after thermal expansion, cold contraction will produce tiny gaps, water will take advantage of the gap to enter, causing the watch to enter the water, once or twice no water, indicating that the watch waterproof performance is good, in the long run will accelerate the aging of waterproof parts, the situation of water entering the watch may occur at any time, the current warranty period of most watches is one year, similarly, the waterproof life of the watch is usually only one year.

Water resistance of the watch.

The waterproof of the watch depends on the waterproof rubber ring on the glass, back cover, handle, etc. to meet the corresponding standards. All waterproof watches are stamped with the words "water resistant" or "water proof" on the case back. Watches without waterproof markings are only dustproof and should be protected from water.

The 30-metre (3atm, or 3 atm) water-resistant watch can be used for daily grooming or rain, i.e. water droplets are splashed on the surface without any water pressure being applied to the watch. The 50-meter water resistance is suitable for swimming and general household chores, and the 100-meter water resistance can be used for underwater work such as swimming and diving. Generally, the watch cannot be protected from hot water.

The watch is not protected from hot water. Don't take a shower or wash dishes with your watch on.

If your watch accidentally enters the water during use, be sure to send it to the official repair center for repair and testing as soon as possible, as the parts are easily oxidized when exposed to moisture for a long time, which will lead to more problems. The master will confirm the repair plan according to the specific situation of the watch.

Repair cases. The owner wore me to the hot spring some time ago, thinking that I was a 30-meter waterproof watch, which can resist the temperature drastic changes and water vapor, but after returning home, I suddenly felt a little unwell and a little "sweaty", because the huge temperature difference made my waterproof parts change (the waterproof ring is a rubber ring, which will expand and shrink with the temperature), so my owner decided to take me to check.

We come to the center. The staff helped us get the number, we sat in the spacious rest area and waited for a few minutes, and soon it was my turn to check, after asking me about my situation in detail, the counter staff registered the situation record, and then carefully put me into the watch box and handed it to the master for pre-inspection.

After entering the workshop, the master used a sophisticated instrument to help me test the waterproof, then remove the water, and write down my symptoms in detail on the pre-inspection list so that the relevant staff at the counter could tell my master.

The result of the inspection is: the machine test is waterproof. So the reason why I am uncomfortable is that the owner used it beyond the standard, and I need to fix my waterproofing function here as well as the condition check of the movement.

In the past, the three defenses (anti-magnetic, shock-proof, and waterproof) actually meant to be careful.

The watch is waterproof and relies on the waterproof rubber ring on the watch glass, back cover, watch handle, etc. to meet the corresponding standards, which are usually divided into 30 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, etc. according to their grades.

30-meter water resistance means that the watch can withstand the pressure at a depth of 30 meters without leaking, and the pressure at a depth of 30 meters is 3 "atmospheres" or 3 barsIt can be worn in diving, rain, car washing, bathing, etc. without leakage, and should never be adjusted to the exercise watch in the water.

Any waterproof watch should not be exposed to hot water and water vapor (such as hot baths, saunas, etc.), because the waterproof rubber ring of the watch will expand and shrink due to temperature, resulting in voids and accelerated aging. Or it can be used in an environment with great temperature changes, so that the moisture in the air in the surface condenses, which causes water inlet and water mist condensation in the surface. If this happens, please go to a professional watch repair department for cleaning and maintenance as soon as possible.

The handle should be kept in a normal position, the threaded handle should be tightened, and when the handle is wet with water or dirt, it should be wiped clean and then pulled out to prevent water and ash. The waterproof rubber ring and handle of the watch (including the waterproof ring) should be replaced regularly according to the use of the watch.

There are three main parts to do the waterproofing of the watch.

1) Sealing of the case and the watch (glass). The dielectric is not affected by changes in heat and cold, and is precisely integrated into the case, which is compressed and embedded in the case by a special rigging. A transparent adhesive is applied between the watch and the case.

2) The winding handle is sealed with the case but does not affect the use of the winding. The case has a tube that matches the inner seal of the handle, and silicone oil is added to meet the needs of water resistance and lubrication.

3.The caseback has a waterproof ring, which is sealed with sealant or silicone, and the caseback is screwed seamlessly to the case with a special key.

There are three waterproof positions for the watch: the glass, the case back, and the handle. Three waterproof rubber rings determine the waterproof performance of the watch.

Pay attention to the waterproof watch when you usually wear it:

1. Do not swim with a watch with 30m water resistance;

2. Do not wear any watch to the bathhouse, do not wear any watch to sauna;

3. The watch should be maintained every 3-4 years or so, and the waterproof test should be carried out;

4. If the watch is flooded, it should be dealt with in time, and it needs to be scrubbed and maintained by the watch maintenance institution. If the watch is not repaired in time, then the water will make the steel parts in the watch movement appear embroidery, and the tiny clock parts usually need to be replaced once rusted, in addition to the movement parts, long-term contact with water vapor will also make the watch dial, blistering and rust occur.
