In daily life, it is very common for watches to get water. When the watch is flooded, many people will choose to adopt various methods circulated on the Internet. After all, if you can solve the problem by yourself, you won't have to go to the maintenance center. However, are these methods really useful? Can the water of the watch be drained out completely without damaging the movement? Let's take a look at the various solutions circulating on the Internet.
Error handling method of watch water intrusion
Put it in the rice
Many people will put their mobile phones into rice after they get into water. After 24 hours, water vapor is basically absorbed.
As the bottom cover and mirror of the watch are completely sealed, the water vapor can not be drained out at all. Therefore, it is necessary to pull out the watch handle. However, there is rice dust in the rice, which is easy to let the rice dust into the movement, thus affecting the normal operation of the movement.
Therefore, it is not reliable to put a watch with water in the rice.
Seal with desiccant
This method seems reliable, after all, most food is physically adsorbed by using desiccant.
However, water evaporation is conditional, high temperature and air circulation can accelerate, but in a relatively closed environment, the natural evaporation of water itself is slow, and it is difficult to spread out through cracks.
Therefore, the watch and desiccant which are filled with water will not fundamentally change the evaporation speed and direction of the internal environment water, that is, the water can not be completely discharged from the watch.
The watch is worn in reverse
The watch is worn in reverse (the mirror is facing inward, the bottom shell is facing outward, and the wrist is worn back). In fact, it is to make the moisture evaporate from the mirror by the temperature. But when you understand the inside structure of the watch, you know that this temperature doesn't allow moisture to come out through the waterproof rubber band at all.
What's more, if you wear the watch in reverse, do you really think about the feeling of the strap and ear? Wearing the watch in reverse will damage the strap.
Heat the bulb and dry it with a blower
After heating the watch in this way, the fog will disappear temporarily, which seems to be quite reliable. However, because the high-grade meter is sealed well, the water vapor does not discharge from the outer shell, but it moves to the position where the temperature in the watch is relatively low, such as the back cover or the core of the watch.
However, if the water vapor is not discharged clean, the residual part in the movement is a great hidden danger, which will lead to rust or corrosion of spare parts, so the maintenance cost will be higher.
Moreover, the oxidation of steel parts will be accelerated when the moisture is heated.
The correct way to watch water
1. If the watch is soaked in water, it can be tightly wrapped with several layers of toilet paper or lint cloth which is easy to absorb moisture. It is placed about 15 cm near the 40 Watt electric lamp bubble, and baked for 30 minutes. The moisture in the watch can be removed.
2. Put it in the rice VAT, deep buried in the dry rice for a period of time, fast, a night can see the obvious effect.
3. A granular substance called silica gel can be put into an airtight container with the watch that has accumulated water. After a few hours, take out the watch and the water will disappear completely.
4. Blow dry with a hair dryer, and then apply a layer of transparent nail polish.
5. There is water vapor in the watch, which can be covered with the inside and the bottom shell facing out, and then put it on the wrist. The water vapor can be removed in two hours. If there is too much water in the meter, the case must be opened for cleaning. If you have little grasp of handling, you should send it to the repair in time.
