A designer watch or a luxury watch is an investment that, if looked after well, should last a lifetime. Keeping it safe and giving it a good clean are a good place to start, but there are more things you can do to ensure your timepiece stands the test of time. Here are our handy tips to help you keep your designer watch in the best possible condition.
Just like you insure your home, car or mobile phone; it’s important to consider taking out an insurance policy on your watch too. Whilst we understand that a watch with special sentimental value is irreplaceable, knowing that it’s protected should it get lost or stolen may help to ease the sadness should the worst happen. Some home insurance policies also cover watches and jewellery so it could be worth checking out your policy first!
If you've opt-ed into outdoor, consider Garmin watches. Sub-collections within Garmin smartwatches include Epix, Fenix and more.
If you're into tough and robust watches, go for G-Shock watches (within Casio watches). Many G-Shock watches can also be used as step counter smartwatches.

You might think that booking in a service is a process reserved for your car but just like you get your car checked, it’s important to do the same for your watch every once in a while. Book in your watch with a specialist who will be able to check that everything is in working order and will also be able to replace the battery should it ever run out.
In the same way that we clean our clothes regularly, it’s important to clean our watches too. Our watches can be exposed to all sorts of dust and dirt so making sure you keep on top of cleaning them will ensure they’re always looking their best. Do some research into how best to clean your particular metal or leather to ensure you don’t end up damaging your designer watch and if you’re unsure, take it to a specialist.
