Watch Care & Maintenance

At Ethos Watch, we design timepieces built for durability and everyday wear. To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your watch, it’s essential to follow proper care and maintenance practices. This guide provides detailed information on how to take care of your Ethos Watch and preserve its condition for years to come.

General Guidelines

• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields.

• Do not operate the crown or buttons under water unless your model is water-resistant and rated for that activity.

• Remove your watch when engaging in heavy physical activity that may result in strong impact.

Cleaning Instructions

• Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe your watch after wear.

• For deeper cleaning, slightly dampen the cloth with water and gently clean the case and strap.

• Never use chemicals, solvents, or abrasives to clean your watch.

Water Resistance

• If your watch is water-resistant, refer to the model’s specific rating (e.g., 3ATM, 5ATM).

• Do not expose non-water-resistant watches to moisture.

• Even water-resistant watches should be kept away from hot water (e.g., showers, saunas).

Battery & Movement

• Quartz watches typically require battery replacement every 1–2 years.

• We recommend having the battery replaced by a certified watch technician to avoid damaging the case or seals.

• Automatic watches should be serviced every 3–5 years for optimal performance.

Storage

• Store your watch in a clean, dry environment when not in use.

• Keep it in a watch box or case to prevent dust accumulation or scratches.

• If you own an automatic watch, consider using a watch winder.
