I am having trouble because the glass on my watch has suddenly become cloudy. For such inquiriesmidsummer or midwinterI often eat it.

・What causes condensation on watches?

① Condensation due to temperature difference with the outside

The inside of the watch is not in a vacuum state and contains a small amount of moisture.

For example, when you enter a room with a cold air conditioner from outside in the hot summer,Temperature difference between the outside air and the inside of the watchby
Moisture inside the watch may adhere to the glass and cause condensation.
Conversely, if you go from a cold place to a warm room, condensation will form as well.

The principle is similar to when a glass of cold water is placed in a warm place and water droplets form on the surface.

Condensation caused by these temperature differences is often temporary.So there is no need to worry too much.

However, if the watch becomes cloudy for a long period of time or water droplets appear, it means that there is a lot of moisture inside the watch.
We recommend that you request repairs as soon as possible, as rust may occur and cause malfunctions.
