Watch repair in Toronto — FAQ
What is a Water Resistance Test for watches?
It is a diagnostic procedure that checks if a watch case can successfully prevent moisture and water from entering the delicate movement under specific pressure levels.
Why does a watch lose its water resistance over time?
The rubber or silicone gaskets that seal the case back, crystal, and crown naturally dry out, crack, or degrade over time, which compromises the seal.
How often should I have my watch tested for water resistance?
It is generally recommended to have a water resistance test performed once a year, especially before exposing the watch to swimming or diving.
What happens if a watch fails the water resistance test?
The watchmaker will identify the source of the leak, which usually requires replacing the damaged gaskets, crown, or crystal seals to restore the original depth rating.
Is a dry test safer than a wet test for water resistance?
Yes, workshops often perform a dry air-pressure test first because it detects leaks without risking water damage to the watch movement if the seals fail.
