How to open a watch without scratches or stress? A simple guide for beginners
Do you want to replace the battery or find out how to open a watch without damaging the case? Start by identifying the type of case back, as a push-in model opens differently from a screw-down model, and a watch with screws opens in yet another way. The most important things are gentle movements, a soft surface and not forcing the case. If the watch is expensive, water-resistant, a sports watch or holds great sentimental value for you, it’s safer to take it to a watchmaker.

It’s not just about getting the watch working again, but about doing so in a way that’s safe for the movement, the case and… the water resistance.

Watch dial restoration – when is it worth it, and when is it better to give it a miss?
Not every watch dial restoration is a good idea – sometimes you improve the appearance, but lose something far more important. The line between refreshing the look and losing the original character is a fine one, and a single decision can affect not only the aesthetics but also the value of the entire watch. If you’re wondering whether restoring watch dials makes sense in your case, it’s worth looking at the issue more broadly – not just in terms of ‘prettier’, but above all ‘better’.

How can I clean my watch face without risking damage?
At first glance, it might seem like just a quick wipe of the glass – but in reality, it’s one of the most common mistakes, which can permanently ruin the appearance of your watch. If you want the dial to look as good as new for years to come, it’s worth knowing what to avoid at all costs and how to clean it safely – without the risk of scratches, tarnishing or costly repairs.

Watch water resistance – how can you test it without visiting a watchmaker?
In theory, it’s all clear – the watch is marked ‘WR’, the manufacturer claims it is water-resistant, so you can wear it without too much worry. In practice, however, the matter is not quite so simple. Water resistance in watches is not a constant, and the markings are very often misinterpreted. Added to this are natural wear and tear on the seals, temperature changes or minor damage, which can reduce the level of protection. And suddenly it turns out that something which was supposed to be ‘water-resistant’ no longer offers the same level of protection as it did at the start.
