5 Things You Must Never Do With Your Watch | Watchfinder & Co.

If the digital age has taught us anything, it’s that there’s something unquestionably appealing about analogue. Whether its hi-fi, photography, cars or watches, being in control of a machine with moving parts that we can manipulate and understand is inherently satisfying. But as technology moves forward, knowledge of the old ways wanes, some of it to be lost forever. It is our responsibility to pass that knowledge on to new generations of aficionados, our duty-so with that in mind, here are five things you must never do with your mechanical watch.

1. Don't quickset the date between 10PM and 2AM (on most quickset date watches). 2. Avoid magnets, i.e. mobile phone speakers. If your watch becomes de-magnetised, you can get it re-magnetised. 3. Don't wear your watch over the top of your clothing (unless you're a diver). 4. Don't unscrew the crown of a watch underwater & don't take (most) chronographs under water (unless they have screw down pushers). 5. Don't force the watches mechanism i.e. force overwinding it.

There are hundreds if not thousands of such watch tips videos, none of which put in words so elegant as yours. I always click on your videos not out of curiosity to the watches, but the words you are to craft together for them. Great channel for exploring watches and language. Thanks for the quality work.

[@CrimFerret]

As a corrolary to 'mechanical sympathy', read the manual that comes with your watch (or download a copy if you didn't get one). Aside from showing how to use all the features/complications (try figuring out how to set the timer on a Yachtmaster II without reading the manual), it will also let you know things you shouldn't do. For instance, if you have a chronograph that doesn't have a flyback feature and you try pressing the reset while it's still running, you can seriously damage the mechanism in some watches. The more complicated the watch, the more likely that there are gatcha's like this.

[@johngalt9262]

Loving that concept of 'mechanical sympathy' that you raised in item 5. I think I've (almost) always had it and been practicing it but I never knew it had a name or I was doing 'a thing'. I just used to call people who broke things or didn't seem to have it, 'heavy handed'. I never knew that they probably just don't have 'mechanical sympathy'. Could you use that on a CV, job application or an online dating profile, do you think? Haha. Like, 'I have mechanical sympathy for cars, bicycles, washing machine control knobs, and fridge, microwave and door handles, etc'.

If I may add my own sad element to this list, 5a) Do not allow a local watchmaker to work on your high-end watch, regardless of what they may profess or even if the warranty is over. I did so and the result was a rather costly - for me, anyway - trip to the factory repair center, adding hundreds of dollars to my bill.

I’m glad you brought up mechanical sympathy. I see a lot of well know reviewers changing the time on high end watches like they are in a rush. I know that these watch’s can handle it but even on my mid range watches I take my time. I just imagine the stress put on the movement and it hurts every time I see it.

[@MobiusCoin]

Something I don't get about watches. People talk about how they love automatic watches and they have "soul" and it's satisfying to know and feel that their mechanical watches having moving parts in them. Cool, fine, I love that too. But then at the same time people complain about how loud the rotor on a Bambino is or something like that. Isn't the sound of the rotor part of the appeal? It is proof that your watch has something mechanical inside of it.

[@lereconst134]

MobiusCoin i have read this comment before surprised me. I have an orient bambino and i could only hear the rotor if i have my ear against the pretty watch. And mu hearing is normal. Probably over expectation or over analyzing the watch? I would expect at least some sort of sound, anyway, given the engineering involved in the pieces.

[@jesse9149]

I sort of agree. But then again, sound means friction and friction means wear. So I understand the opposing argument as well.

[@SenszR]

Because obviously if you can make the mechanism silent, the mechanics are superior.

I’ve never heard it called Mechanical Sympathy before. I love it, and will have to borrow it. It’s perfect! I’ve only used the term “being careful” or having “finesse” before. I was born in 1980. My father is a mechanical engineer, so I learned “mechanical sympathy” very early on, you could say, and it’s definitely something that isn’t learned, taught, or employed as much anymore by younger people. Women especially as most of them tend yo beat on cars. Ask any mechanic. I for one, would never buy a used car from a woman under the age of 55.

Good video but I have to say I think you left some info out on the date adjust. I was always taught run your hands to 6 o'clock (even if you don't know if its am or pm) and then adjust your date to one day prior. Then roll your time forward to the correct date and time.

[@aaronthomas4883]

@Tom Smith What is the correct procedure?

[@lucascardinfranco2011]

Aaron Thomas you see, the problem is between 8:00pm and 3:00am, mostly, when the gears ⚙️ (i liked that emoji) of the day start to move, so what you said isn’t wrong, because if you don’t know if it’s 3:00 am or pm, it is better to leave the pointers out of that range of 8pm and 3am and change the day. My Montblanc star date automatic’s manual states that it’s not recommended to change the date between 8:00pm and 2:00am, in the other hand, my father’s Breitling states in it’s manual that it’s recommended to change the date between 8:00pm and 3:00am, so you gotta check your watch’s manual to see what’s the range of hours that can damage the watch.

[@lucascardinfranco2011]

Aaron Thomas and if you leave the date to one day prior and roll the time forward to correct the date, you will never make it wrong, because when the date changes, it means it’s 12:00 pm, than you correct the watch to am or pm as your need, as if you change the date itself, you might be using the watch in Pm in the Am period, therefore, it will change the date at 12:00 am, instead of 12:00 pm.

[@LeonAguileraRadford]

Excellent! Will you ever review the Bulova Accutron Spaceview of the era of the Omega Moon Watch? I long for one but it seems a very difficult watch to service these days!

[@suplex2000]

For an Automatic watch, this probably wouldn't apply, but I would like to add something that you shouldn't do to a Battery operated Quartz watch. Simply enough...Don't pull out the crown so it doesn't run (and use the battery) when you aren't using it. It's believed that dust can get inside (if the crown is left out) and that can cause problems down the road. Most battery watches will last a good 2 years (or maybe longer if you don't use any chronograph functions, for watches that have those) anyway, so pulling out the crown to get longer battery life isn't necessary. Especially if it may need to be professionally cleaned if leaving out the crown leads to it not going back in correctly, or it becomes difficult to turn to set the time.

[@alfredthebigasshousespider9650]

My watch stopped at a concert, and I had no idea why. it didn't start up at all until days later. I am wondering if big concert speakers have strong enough magnets to affect an automatic watch?

[@sjm4306]

magnetic strength is proportional to the inverse square of the distance (meaning you would basically have to be within inches right in front of a speaker for it to have any non-negligible effect). More likely than not it was the very high spl (sound pressure level), that had some effect on the delicately balanced mechanical parts of your watch. The point that the video makes about phone speaker magnets being dangerous is way overstated unless the watch is stored right on top of the speaker for an appreciable amount of time.

[@Spaceman2484]

The Bvlgari is beautiful 😍 I didn't think they could make a better-looking diver than Rolex.

[@auwz66]

Mag tapes are very reliable and in car parks the problem is usually debris on the read head in the machine or the write head at the ticket barrier on the way in resulting in no write or error in the data. Once data is on the tape its very difficult to remove it with anything you would have in your pockets etc. Your phone speaker magnet is certainly not going to effect it even if left directly next to it for very long periods of time. HTH.

I love that watch, any idea what it was

[@JonasRosenven]

@@BillSikes. It is a U-BOAT Thousands of Feet MB 1918

[@BillSikes.]

@@JonasRosenven thanks bro 👍

[@JonasRosenven]

@@BillSikes. You are welcome. U-BOAT makes some pretty nice watches in a relatively wide price range. I got a U-Boat Classico 53 mm 5570. Love the size and the simple look.

Its rare and I agree most of the time its horrible idea. However I have a few that do look very nice and clean on the outside of a long sleeve shirt. Guess I'm dumb but I like it. And to me it has nothing to do with trying to show off . I just do what I like and makes me feel good.best part is others opinions mean nothing to me.

Gianni agnelli

[@salviatino12]

funny, right? Well, I happened to realized a guy wearing over his sleeve a Roley Daytona chrono (or maybe it was a replica) and on his righ hand, under the sleeve, a casio... that was in the late 90s when I lived in Florence (Italy)... At that time there was a huge enthusiasm in Italy about mechanical watches.

I got woken up by an ex girlfriend 'stomping' up stairs once and knew right then she wasn't the one for me. Took until now to know that's a lack of 'mechanical sympathy' though, haha.... I just thought it graceless.

[@BeckVMH]

Imagine that sound compounded many, many times over if you’d married and she was angry. Good call.

[@oes2546]

Could you review the Citizen Chronomaster aq4020? While in general quartz pieces haven't the soul and craftsmanship of mechanicals, I think there are exceptions. It takes passion to pursue making the perfect quartz piece as well. This would make an interesting topic. Citizens flagship is a prime example of this. It gets way too little exposition in the watch community outside Japan (It is a j.d.m. release), and I believe it deserves a review by someone as good at it as you are 😊

[@mats12east89]

Mechanical sympathy - often overlooked and forgotten until you pull the crown out too much or screw crown in too much. Eloquently presented. Thank you.

Good day, my name is Alex, I'm from Ukraine, I have an idea to translate your videos into Russian. I have no experience in implementing such projects, but I know that first I need your permission, what do you think about this?

[@DJogdog]

Click on the gear icon at the bottom right of the video, click on "Subtitles/CC" then click "add subtitles/CC".

[@voloshinboss]

@@DJogdog I know this, but the translation is not very high quality and you need to watch the video four times to understand, this is a long time. and Russian do not do that)

[@Markus__B]

@@voloshinboss what he´s trying to say, if you click on the gear icon > subtitles > add your own, you can enter the youtube subtitle tool which lets you translate and subtitle the video to your language, these are then added to the subtitle choice for other viewers.

Does wearing a button compass on the nato band magnetize your watch, or adversely affect your watch in any way?

[@asherwade]

I have a general question. So, I have a ´Jüles Jürgensen, President Day Date´´, gold color metal, because I could not afford real gold, but it ´izz´absolutely lovely and my favorite watch, but I am confused. Since JJ was founded in 1740, didn ´t JJ originate this President Day Date appearance, not back then, but at least, `before ´ Rolex made it’s iteration ? I honestly think the JJ appearance looks better, especially the `crown ´ underneath the Day. What are your comments ?

[@andyroper1613]

If you must go scuba diving always wear the Seiko you bought in 1980 for £135. Never wear the SeaMaster co-axial chronograph you paid £3600 for in 2007*.. .. even though theoretically it could go down so deep your head would actually implode.. .. and buy a Luminor Daylight chronograph because it's so damn cool.. especially that lever for the crown! 😄 (how many of these things ever get used for what they were designed for? 🌊🌊🌊) *and you've just forked out the thick end of £600 to have it cleaned and serviced.

[@desertfox432]

Possible 6th for mechanical watches: How would the average dress watch Reverso/Patek or even a Submariner behave under strong vibration shock situations? For example, off-roading in a 70's Land Cruiser (already shaky), and hitting recurring large patches of extreme vibrational shock caused by horizontal pattern land formations.

[@loafywolfy]

ive heard that playing golf/ using power tools/ baseball can offset the gears and stop the movement. pretty sure its why the g-shock was developed
