A mechanical watch should be checked and serviced regularly according
to the manufacture's suggestions. This is important because tiny
particles of dust can get into the workings, increasing friction
of moving parts.
Wind your watch in a clockwise direction, prefereably about the
same time each day. Take it off your wrist so as not to place
undue pressure on the stem.
Although many watches are equipped with shock-resistant devises,
it's not always wise to subject it to overly vigorous treatment.
Replace broken or scratched glasses immediately, even a hairline
crack can let dust or moisture into the mechanism, threatening
its accuracy.
Unless the degree of water-resistance was clearly specified when
you bought your watch, don't risk wearing it in the shower or
pool, or on a moist wrist.
No matter how handy you are, don't attempt any "do-it-yourself"
watch repairs. Only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to
put your watch back into working condition.
Its best to replace a battery in a quartz watch before it runs
out. Dead batteries left in the watch can leak or corrode and
ruin it. Also don't attempt to change the battery in the watch
yourself.
