Watch Care Tips

 

Many customers buy their Fiqo watches to celebrate special occasions which might attach sentimental values or emotions to the watch they own. Some may be afraid that they will not have the right knowledge to take care of our watches. However, taking care of your Fiqo watch can be easier than you think. Fiqo watches are built to last and can last a really long time if it is taken care of properly to keep it well-maintained. 

 

1. Clean your watch often (probably once a week) with a soft cloth. If you want you can also use some warm water and soap for a more thorough cleaning process. Some parts of the bracelet and the case might not be reachable and you might need a brush to clean these areas, if not you might need to remove the leather strap or the metal bracelet to clean it more effectively.
2. You should keep your Fiqo watch away from magnets or electronics or items that either emit magnetic waves or have magnetic properties, this is because it might negatively affect the timekeeping properties of your Fiqo watch.
3. Buy a collector’s watch box if you have more than 2 watches. Keep your watch in a box when it is not worn can prevent accidental damage to the crystal or case caused by a drop from low heights.
4. Keep your watch away from direct sunlight if possible as heat will weaken the battery life for Quartz watches and that sunlight can also break down the color plating of any plated watch.
5. Avoid contact with salt water, chemicals, moisturizers, industrial or strong cleaning chemicals and perfumes, as all these agents will break down the metal or leather bracelet of a watch. If you need to apply moisturizers or perfume, let it dry completely before putting on your Fiqo watch.
6. Lastly, never try to open your watch by yourself, leave this task to a watchmaker who have the professional expertise to service or repair your Fiqo watch effectively.

 

Taking care of your Fiqo watch has never been easier.
