Sometimes, condensation occurs when droplets of water get inside your watch because it isn't water-resistant or sometimes it may have had went through a lot more than the rated water resistance for its capacity.
When moisture gets inside a wristwatch, it is usually a minor concern that may dry up in a few days, affecting none but the conspicuous presence of droplets inside.
Sometimes, though, the presence of droplets inside may indicate a more serious problem on the watch's hardware, causing air to flow inside the watch and cause condensation.
Why moisture gets inside wristwatches?
This is normal for watches that are not water-resistant and for water-resistant watches that are not highly-rated or fairly old.
Sometimes, when water-resistant watches are exposed underwater for long periods of time in a situation where their water-resistance rating is exceeded by the water pressure, condensation also occurs. For example, a watch that has a WR rating of 50m is left in a washing machine for an hour, it may have small droplets or fog inside the crystal.
Non-water-resistant watches and low-rated watches under extreme pressure are the common victims of condensation inside their crystals. Fortunately, there are a number of ways in order to get rid of these droplets.
As most can be done at home, there are cases when sometimes it may be more beneficial to just bring them to professionals for a more in-depth look at the cause of the problem.
