You finally got the watch you always wanted. Maybe it's gold with all kinds of extras and just makes you feel fuzzy inside or is just plain cool. Now you have to worry about taking care of it. Well don't get all bothered about it Junior, we're going to give you some tips so your ticker keeps on ticking.

You watch requires your attention. Like a finely tuned car, it needs some help to remain finely tuned. This means getting on a regular maintenance schedule with you watch and keeping it better than you've kept other schedules. Unlike your care, you won't hear funky noises when your watch begins to break down, in fact you won't hear a sound, not even ticking.

Water and heat are the two biggest problems associated with rust inside of your watch. Even if your watch is water-resistant, make sure you put your watch in a position where it does not have to resist anything. Water resistant is not the same as water proof. If water gets inside of your watch, it's pretty much a given you will be down at the local watch-smith's shop for a cleaning session.

Remove your watch if you feel like you are going to be engaging in activities where you watch might become wet, such as a steam bath, scuba diving in the Alps or whatever crazy water thing you have planned. If your watch becomes exposed to salt water, rinse it and let dry.

Changing the date on your nice luxury time piece is a good thing. I mean if you need to. Try to not do this within three hours of midnight. The internals on your nice little ticker are in the process of changing the date themselves at this time. You doing it for them can produce a problem with the gears and cause some damage.

Wind your automatic watch by hand once or twice a week. This keeps the oils moving in the right direction. It is also important because it will keep the gears nice and slick. Non-slick flooring is great, non-slick gears will put you behind schedule.

Mechanical watches require the same thing more children do; consistency. It is a good idea to wind your watch every morning. The internal mechanism of the mechanical complexities makes it so that they need to be wound on a regular basis, but not a lot. The irony is that people who do not want to be late and are habitual watch winders (two or three times a day) tend to wear out their watches and then complain that their "piece of junk" will not work. If they had wound the watch just once in the morning they could have saved themselves a lot of hassle.

Schedule regular time, about once every two years, with a watch maker. They will examine your watch and give her a tune up. This is very important because even if your watch is running perfectly fine, it still needs to be checked internally for rust, oiled and cleaned. Doing so will help ensure that you keep on getting a good time. Wow, that was my worst pun yet.
