If you plan to wear a mechanical watch to the gym, this article will discuss the following points that you must pay attention to in advance to avoid any damage to the watch.
Sometimes you may wonder whether your high-end watch is suitable for wearing to the gym for some personal exercise. According to the watch factory, each watch looks sturdy and durable. It should be no problem to wear it to a relatively safe and comfortable gym. However, that is generally speaking. If you really plan to wear a watch to the gym, you must pay attention to the following points in advance to avoid any damage to the watch.
The internal structure of mechanical watches is sophisticated and complex. They are relatively sensitive to vibration. Therefore, if you go to the gym to do more intense training such as punching sandbags, it is recommended that you do not wear a mechanical watch at this time. It is safer, because if the watch is hit by a strong impact during the swing, it will affect the accuracy of the watch at the least, and may cause damage to the movement parts at the worst.
It is natural to wear your favorite watch to accompany yourself in life, but if you plan to wear it to the gym, you still need to think twice before acting.
Considering that modern sports watches are designed with shock-absorbing effects above the standard, if you are going to run on a treadmill or do other cross-training, there is relatively little to worry about. The problem at this time is not the degree of vibration during exercise, but the sweat after a lot of exercise. The waterproof performance of sports watches is much better than that of ordinary watches, but if they are in contact with a lot of sweat for a long time, their components may slowly corrode the watch and damage the case and sealing gaskets.
Therefore, it is still recommended to keep your high-end watch at home when going to the gym. Many sports watches among high-end watches are used for water sports such as swimming, diving or sailing, so their waterproof performance is very strong at first glance, such as 100 meters, 300 meters or even thousands of meters, etc. However, it should be noted that the waterproof data is not directly equal to the "depth of diving into the water", but represents that the watch "can withstand the underwater pressure at this depth" - there is a subtle difference between the two. Although you are unlikely to encounter the problem of diving in the gym, for the sake of insurance, whether the watch has a waterproof function or not, in order to prevent the mechanical parts inside from getting wet, it is better to avoid wearing it to the gym as much as possible.
When doing weightlifting and other activities, the watch may accidentally hit the equipment, causing scratches on the outside.
If you have the habit of wearing a watch to exercise and lift weights, you should also pay attention to not adjusting the strap too tight, because during training, when the muscles contract, it is likely to cause the watch to become too tight, which is not only uncomfortable, but also affects blood circulation; including when lifting dumbbells, if you wear a watch on your hand, it is also a relatively high-risk time. For example, the watch hitting the dumbbell may cause minor abrasions or scratches on the outside, or even more serious injuries.
Smart watches and quartz watches are better choices for going to the gym than mechanical watches
From the above situation, it is usually recommended not to wear high-end watches when going to the gym, but for some situations, watches still have their benefits when they are suitable for exercise. For example, when running or calculating the cycles of different sports, the timing function can help you grasp your performance more accurately. Fortunately, there are smart watches that can assist in exercise. Compared with mechanical watches, smart watches are less restricted when worn for exercise, and they are a useful tool for recording various information (such as tracking heart rate, travel distance, and even calculating burned calories, etc.), which are all purposes that mechanical watches cannot achieve. Therefore, if you really want to wear a watch to the gym, whether you choose to wear a quartz watch or a smart watch, it is often more suitable than a high-end watch with a mechanical movement.
