What is the difference between a water-resistant and a waterproof watch?

Water-resistant and waterproof are terms often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings:

 

  • Water-Resistant: This term indicates that a watch can withstand some exposure to water, such as splashes or brief submersion. The degree of water resistance varies and is typically measured in meters (e.g., 30 meters, 50 meters). However, water-resistant watches are not designed for prolonged or deep water exposure. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific water resistance details.

  • Waterproof: While "waterproof" suggests a higher level of protection, it’s important to note that no watch is truly impervious to water under all conditions. The term generally implies that the watch can handle more significant water exposure, such as swimming or diving, depending on its rated depth. However, even waterproof watches require regular maintenance and care to maintain their resistance.

For accurate information, always refer to the watch's specifications and follow care instructions to ensure longevity and functionality.

What do the different depth ratings mean? 

The ATM rating on your watch indicates its water resistance, but it's important to understand what that actually means for your activities. Here's a general guide:

  • Low Water Resistance: 30M or less (3 ATM or 3 BAR):

    Splash-resistant: Can withstand rain or accidental splashes.

    Suitable for everyday use, including occasional splashes and brief immersion in water.

    Not suitable for: Swimming, showering, or any water-related activities.

  • Medium Water Resistance (50M-100M) (5 ATM or 5 BAR):

    Water-resistant: Suitable for swimming and showering.

    Not suitable for: Diving or snorkeling.

  • High Water Resistance: 100M-200M (10 ATM or 10 BAR):

    Diver's watch: Suitable for recreational diving and snorkeling.

    Not suitable for: Professional diving or high-pressure water activities.

  • Very High Water Resistance: 200M+ (20 ATM or 20 BAR):

    Professional diver's watch: Suitable for professional diving and extreme water sports.


Important note: Even with a high water resistance rating, it's crucial to avoid:

  • Exposing your watch to hot water (showers, saunas).

  • Submerging your watch in water for extended periods.

  • Using the watch crown or pushers underwater.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines to ensure that your watch performs optimally and maintains its water resistance over time.

What is the difference between watch crystal (or glass) materials?

A watch glass is the protective covering that shields the watch's dial from damage. There are primarily three main types: mineral glass, sapphire glass, and plexiglass.

Mineral Glass:

  • What It Is: Glass that’s been treated to be harder.

  • Pros: More scratch-resistant and durable than acrylic.

  • Cons: Still not as tough as sapphire and can scratch over time.

  • Common and affordable: Often used in entry-level and mid-range watches.

  • Easy to replace: If scratched, it can be replaced at a lower cost.

Sapphire Glass:

  • What It Is: Made from synthetic sapphire, a very hard material.

  • Pros: Extremely tough and scratch-resistant, providing excellent clarity and durability.

  • Cons: More expensive and can crack under extreme impact.

  • More expensive: Due to its superior qualities, sapphire glass watches tend to be pricier.

Plexiglass (Acrylic):

  • What It Is: A type of plastic similar to acrylic crystal, used as a more affordable and impact-resistant option.

  • Pros: Lightweight and less likely to shatter; often used in budget-friendly watches; scratches can be polished out.

  • Cons: More prone to scratches than sapphire or mineral glass; can become cloudy over time.

  • Easy to polish: Scratches can often be removed with polishing, restoring the glass's clarity.

  • Affordable: Generally cheaper than sapphire or mineral glass, making it a budget-friendly option.

Plexiglass is often found in vintage and military watches due to its durability and resistance to shattering. However, for modern watches, sapphire glass is often preferred for its superior scratch resistance and clarity.

What is the difference between quartz, automatic and hand-wound (mechanical) watch movements? 

Understanding watch movements can help you choose the right watch for your needs. Here’s a simple guide to the three main types:

  • Quartz Movement:

    • How It Works: Uses a battery and a tiny quartz crystal to keep time. The battery sends an electrical current through the crystal, which vibrates at a precise frequency to power the watch.

    • Pros: Extremely accurate, requires minimal maintenance, and usually more affordable.

    • Cons: Needs a battery replacement every few years.

  • Automatic Movement:

    • How It Works: Powered by the movement of your wrist. An internal rotor spins as you move, winding the mainspring and storing energy to run the watch.

    • Pros: No battery needed; just wear the watch regularly to keep it running. Often considered a classic and desirable mechanism.

    • Cons: Requires regular wear or winding; may stop if not worn for a while. Generally more expensive than quartz.

  • Hand-Wound (Mechanical) Movement:

    • How It Works: Requires manual winding of the mainspring using the crown. This winding stores energy that powers the watch.

    • Pros: Offers a traditional watchmaking experience and often features intricate craftsmanship. No battery required.

    • Cons: Must be wound regularly (usually daily) to keep it running. Less accurate than quartz and can be more delicate.

What is a chronograph watch?

A chronograph watch is essentially a watch with a stopwatch function.It combines the standard timekeeping features of a regular watch with additional functionality for measuring elapsed time. It allows you to measure and record specific time intervals. You'll often find additional dials or sub-dials on the watch face to display elapsed seconds, minutes, and sometimes even hours. Chronograph watches are popular among athletes, professionals, and anyone who needs to accurately time events.


Key Features:

  • Stopwatch Function: It has buttons (usually on the sides of the watch) that start, stop, and reset a separate stopwatch mechanism. This allows you to measure time intervals accurately.

  • Sub-Dials: Most chronograph watches have sub-dials on the main face that display the elapsed minutes and seconds of the stopwatch function.

  • Dual Purpose: While it keeps regular time, the chronograph feature lets you track and record time for events, making it useful for activities like sports, cooking, or timing other events.

What does an ATM mean on a watch?

ATM stands for “atmospheres” and is a measurement of how water-resistant your watch is.

  • 1 ATM: Equivalent to the pressure experienced at a depth of 10 meters (about 33 feet) underwater.
  • 5 ATM: Can handle pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 meters (about 164 feet).
  • 10 ATM: Withstands pressure up to 100 meters (about 328 feet).

In general, higher ATM ratings mean the watch is more resistant to water. For example, a watch rated at 10 ATM can handle swimming and snorkeling, while a 3 ATM watch is suitable for everyday splashes and rain but not for swimming.

Remember: Even with a high ATM rating, it's always best to avoid exposing your watch to extreme water conditions or high temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure your watch remains in good condition and avoid any water damage.

What is a chronometer?

These watches have undergone rigorous testing by official institutes to make sure they can withstand everyday bumps and bangs, temperature changes, and even different positions. This ensures they tell you the exact time no matter what you're doing, whether you're scaling a mountain or relaxing on the beach. So, when you see a "chronometer" watch, you know it's a timepiece built to perform at the highest level.

Can sapphire glass be scratched?

While sapphire glass is incredibly resistant to scratches and is often called "scratch-proof", it's not completely invincible. Materials harder than sapphire, like diamonds, can scratch it. However, in everyday life, it's highly unlikely you'll encounter something that can scratch your sapphire crystal watch. So, rest assured, your watch is well-protected against most scratches.

What materials are used in your jewelry?

Our jewelry is crafted from high-quality materials to ensure both beauty and durability:

  • Sterling Silver 925: A premium alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, providing strength and a brilliant shine.

  • Gold 18K: Composed of 75% pure gold mixed with other metals for added strength, giving a rich and luxurious appearance.

How do I know if a piece of jewelry is hypoallergenic?

What is the difference between plated and solid gold jewelry?

At Ormoda, we offer both plated and solid gold jewelry, each with its own characteristics:


Solid Gold Jewelry:

  • Composition: Made from gold alloyed with other metals to enhance durability. The purity is measured in karats (e.g., 18K gold contains 75% pure gold).

  • Durability: Solid gold is highly durable and resists tarnishing, making it a lasting investment.

  • Value: Because it contains a high percentage of pure gold, solid gold jewelry is generally more valuable and often comes with a higher price tag.

Plated Gold Jewelry:

  • Composition: Crafted from a base metal (like brass or copper) and coated with a thin layer of gold through a plating process.

  • Durability: The gold layer on plated jewelry may wear off over time with regular use. It may need replating to maintain its appearance.

  • Value: Plated gold jewelry is more affordable compared to solid gold due to the smaller amount of gold used. The value is influenced by the quality of the plating and the base metal.

Yes, many of our jewelry pieces at Ormoda are designed with everyday wear in mind. We offer a range of styles that are both stylish and durable, suitable for daily use.

How can I be sure the watch strap, band or bracelet will fit my wrist?

Choosing the right size watch strap, band, or bracelet is essential for comfort and style. Here's how to ensure a perfect fit:

  • Measure your wrist: Wrap a measuring tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. Note down the measurement in centimeters or inches.

  • Check the product details: Most watch straps, bands, and bracelets have size information listed on our website in the product description. Compare your wrist measurement to the available sizes.

  • Consider your preference: Some people prefer a tighter fit, while others like a looser one. Keep your personal preference in mind when choosing a size.

  • Adjustable options:  Look for watches with adjustable straps or bracelets. Some bands come with extra links that can be removed or added to fit different wrist sizes. Many straps also have multiple holes or adjustable clasps to customize the fit.

Remember: It's always better to err on the side of slightly larger than too small, as most watch straps can be adjusted to fit smaller wrists.

If you're still unsure, don't hesitate to contact our
customer support team. They'll be happy to assist you in finding the perfect fit.

 

How can I be sure the watch case will be the right size on my wrist?

Selecting the perfect watch case size is crucial for comfort and style. Here are some tips:

Measure Your Wrist

  • Circumference: Wrap a measuring tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone. Ensure it's snug but not tight.
  • Width: Measure the widest part of your wrist.

Consider Watch Case Dimensions:

Review the watch specifications on our website to find the dimensions of the watch case

  • Diameter: This is the width of the watch case.  A case diameter of 38-42 mm is generally considered standard for most wrists, but this can vary based on personal preference and style.
  • Lug-to-lug distance: This is the distance between the watch's lugs, where the strap attaches.
  • Thickness: This is the depth of the watch case.

Consider the Case Shape:

 The shape of the case (round, square, or rectangular) can affect how it fits and looks on your wrist. Make sure the shape complements your wrist size and personal style.

Look for Adjustable Features: 

Some watches come with adjustable cases or straps that allow for a customized fit. Check if the watch has these features to accommodate different wrist sizes.


General Guidelines

  • Small wrists (6 inches or less): Opt for watch cases between 34mm and 38mm.
  • Medium wrists (6 to 7 inches): Consider watch cases between 38mm and 42mm.
  • Large wrists (7 inches or more): Choose watch cases from 42mm and up.

Additional Tips

  • Consider the watch style: A sporty watch might look larger than a dress watch, even if they have the same case size.
  • Balance: The watch should complement your wrist size without overwhelming it.

If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. We can provide personalized advice and help you select a watch that fits perfectly.

  • Check for adjustable options: Many bracelets have adjustable clasps or links for a customized fit.

    • Collar necklace: 14-16 inches
    • Princess necklace: 16-18 inches
    • Matinee necklace: 18-22 inches
    • Opera necklace: 28-32 inches
    • Rope necklace: 34-42 inches

  • Think about the neckline of your outfit: The necklace length should complement your outfit.

What can I do to keep my watch in good condition?

To ensure your watch stays in excellent condition, follow these simple care tips:

General Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Gently clean your watch with a soft cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints. For metal bands, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush.

  • Avoid Water Exposure: Unless your watch is specifically water-resistant, avoid wearing it in the shower, swimming, or in the rain.

  • Protect from Extreme Temperatures: Keep your watch away from extreme heat, cold, or direct sunlight, as these can affect its accuracy and materials.

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your watch away from perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents, as these can damage the materials.

Specific Care Based on Watch Type:

  • Quartz Watches: Replace the battery when necessary to maintain accuracy.

  • Automatic Watches: Wear your watch regularly to keep it wound. If not worn for extended periods, use a watch winder.

  • Hand-Wound Watches: Wind your watch daily to ensure optimal performance.

  • Water-Resistant Watches: While water-resistant, avoid submerging your watch in water for extended periods or exposing it to high pressure.

Storage:

How long does the battery last?

The battery life of a watch depends on several factors, including the type of watch and its features. Here’s a general overview:

  • Quartz Watches: Typically, quartz watch batteries last between 1 to 3 years. High-performance or multifunction watches may have slightly shorter battery life.

  • Digital Watches: Batteries in digital watches generally last from 2 to 5 years, depending on the complexity and usage of the features.

  • Smartwatches: Battery life for smartwatches varies widely, ranging from 1 to 2 days, depending on the model and usage of apps and connectivity features.

The battery life of a quartz watch can vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Battery type: Different battery types have different capacities.

  • Watch features: Watches with additional functions like chronographs or alarms typically drain the battery faster.

  • Usage: Frequent use of the watch's functions can shorten battery life.

Signs of a dying battery:

  • Inaccurate timekeeping: The watch starts to lose or gain time significantly.

  • Reduced functionality: Certain functions, like the chronograph or alarm, might not work properly.

  • Dim display: The watch's display becomes dimmer than usual.

For the most accurate information, refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for your specific watch model. If you notice any issues with your watch battery or it’s time for a replacement, contact our customer support team for assistance.

Skin problem after wearing my watch, what should I do? 

Developing a skin problem after wearing your watch is quite common. It can be caused by several factors, including:

  • Allergic reaction: To metals (like nickel) or other materials in the watch or strap.

  • Irritation: From sweat, dirt, or friction.

  • Infection: If the skin is broken, bacteria can enter.

What to Do:

  • Stop wearing the watch: This is the first step to prevent further irritation.

  • Clean the affected area: Gently wash the area with mild soap and water.

  • Apply a soothing cream: Hydrocortisone cream can help reduce inflammation.

  • Identify the cause: Try to determine what might be causing the problem. Is it the metal, the strap material, or something else?

  • Consider a hypoallergenic alternative: If you suspect an allergy, consider a watch with a hypoallergenic strap, such as stainless steel or titanium.

If the problem persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist. They can diagnose the specific issue and recommend appropriate treatment.

Prevention Tips:

  • Clean your watch regularly: Remove sweat and dirt to prevent irritation.

  • Choose breathable straps: Opt for materials that allow your skin to breathe.

  • Take breaks: Remove your watch occasionally to let your skin rest.

Reach out to our customer support team to discuss the issue. We can help determine if the problem might be related to the watch itself and provide guidance on possible solutions or alternatives.

How do I replace my watch battery?

Replacing a watch battery can be delicate. If you're unsure or uncomfortable, it's best to take it to a professional watch repair shop.

Here's a general guide:

  • Identify your watch type: Determine if your watch has a snap-on or screw-down case back.

  • Gather tools: You'll need a small screwdriver (for screw-down cases), a watch case opener (for snap-on cases), and a new battery.

  • Open the case: Carefully remove the case back using the appropriate tool.

  • Remove the old battery: Use tweezers to gently remove the old battery.

  • Insert the new battery: Ensure the battery is facing the correct way.

  • Replace the case back: Securely close the case back.

Important tips:

  • Be gentle: Avoid touching the watch's internal components.

  • Note the battery size: Ensure you purchase the correct battery size.

  • Discharge static electricity: Ground yourself before handling the watch to prevent damaging electronic components.

  • Test the watch: Once the battery is replaced, check if the watch is working correctly.

If you’re unsure or uncomfortable with replacing the battery yourself, we recommend visiting a professional to ensure the job is done correctly.

For any questions or if you need assistance finding a repair service, feel free to contact our customer support team.

How do I clean my watch? 

To keep your watch looking great and functioning well, follow these cleaning steps:

  • Remove the Watch:

    • Take Off the Watch: Start by removing your watch from your wrist to avoid any damage during cleaning.

  • Clean the Watch Case:

    • Soft Cloth: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the watch case. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water.


    • Avoid Chemicals: Refrain from using harsh chemicals or solvents that can damage the watch.

  • Clean the Watch Band:

    • Leather Bands: Wipe leather bands with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them in water, as this can damage the leather. For a deeper clean, use a leather conditioner.

    • Metal Bands: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from metal bands. If needed, you can clean metal bands with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.

    • Rubber/Silicone Bands: Clean rubber or silicone bands with mild soap and water. Use a soft brush to get into any grooves, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

  • Clean the Watch Crystal:

    • Gently Wipe: Use a clean, soft cloth to gently wipe the watch crystal. For stubborn smudges, you can use a screen-cleaning solution, but avoid spraying it directly on the watch. Instead, apply it to the cloth first.

  • Avoid Water Exposure:

    • Check Water Resistance: Only clean your watch with water if it is water-resistant. If you’re unsure, consult the manufacturer’s specifications.

  • Regular Maintenance:

    • Professional Cleaning: For a thorough clean, especially if your watch has complex features or is a luxury item, consider having it professionally cleaned.

Remember:

  • Always check your watch's water resistance before immersing it in water.

  • If your watch has a screw-down crown, ensure it's tightly screwed down before cleaning.

By following these steps, you can maintain the appearance and functionality of your watch. If you have specific concerns or need additional advice, feel free to contact our customer support team.

I lost my loop, what should I do? 

If you’ve lost your loop, please contact our customer support team immediately. Provide as much detail as possible about your watch model and the issue you’re facing. Our team will assist you in finding a suitable replacement. 

Please note that the availability of spare parts depends on the brand of your watch. While our customer support team will do their best to help you source a replacement loop, we cannot guarantee its availability.

How soon is it recommended to check the water resistance of my watch? 

It's recommended to check your watch's water resistance every 1-2 years.

This is especially important if:

  • Your watch is exposed to water frequently (swimming, showering, etc.).

  • Your watch has been dropped or subjected to impacts.

  • You've recently changed the battery or performed any repairs on the watch.

 Here’s a general guideline:

  • Annually: Have your watch’s water resistance tested once a year, especially if it’s a high-end or luxury watch. This helps ensure that seals and gaskets are functioning properly.

  • After Battery Changes: If you have the battery replaced or if the watch is opened for any reason, it’s advisable to check the water resistance to confirm that the seals were properly reinstalled.

  • After Exposure to Water: If your watch has been exposed to water beyond its recommended limits (e.g., swimming or diving), have it checked for water resistance to ensure no damage has occurred.

  • During Regular Servicing: If you have your watch serviced regularly, ask the technician to check the water resistance as part of the service.

Remember: Water resistance is not permanent. Over time, the seals and gaskets can deteriorate, reducing the watch's ability to withstand water pressure.

If you have any concerns or need assistance, feel free to contact our customer support team.

What should I do if I notice condensation or water under the watch glass?

If you notice condensation or water under the watch glass, it’s important to address the issue promptly to avoid potential damage.

Here's what you should do:

  • Stop Wearing the Watch: Remove the watch from your wrist to prevent further exposure to moisture and avoid additional damage.

  • Dry the Watch Gently: Place the watch in a dry, warm area to allow the moisture to evaporate. Avoid using direct heat sources, like a hairdryer, as this can damage the watch components.

  • Check for a Loose or Damaged Seal: Condensation can often be caused by a loose or damaged seal. Inspect the watch for any visible signs of damage around the crystal or case.

  • Avoid Using the Watch in Water: If the watch is water-resistant, check the specifications to ensure it is appropriate for the conditions you’ve exposed it to. Avoid using it in water until the issue is resolved.

If you notice any damage or if the condensation persists, contact our friendly Ormoda customer support team. We can help diagnose the issue and guide you through the repair process. 

Preventing future issues:

  • Regularly check the watch's water resistance rating and avoid exposing it to activities exceeding its capabilities.

  • Have your watch serviced by a professional watchmaker at regular intervals to ensure the water seals remain intact.

By following these steps, you can help protect your watch from further damage and ensure its longevity.

Does an automatic watch have to be wound?

No, an automatic watch doesn't have to be wound. The name itself is a clue - it winds itself! The movement of your wrist activates a rotor inside the watch, which winds the mainspring.. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Self-Winding Mechanism: The movement of your arm while wearing the watch causes a rotor inside the watch to spin. This rotor winds the mainspring, storing energy to power the watch.

  • Initial Winding: When you first get an automatic watch or if it has stopped due to inactivity, it’s a good idea to manually wind it using the crown. This ensures that the mainspring is fully wound and the watch starts running accurately.

  • Regular Wear: For optimal performance, wearing the watch regularly ensures that the rotor continues to wind the watch. If you don’t wear it for a while, it may stop.

  • Manual Winding: Even though the watch winds itself during regular use, occasional manual winding (if the design allows) can help keep it running smoothly and maintain accuracy.

How should I care for and clean my jewelry?

Proper care and cleaning will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewelry.

Here’s how to keep your Ormoda pieces looking their best:

  • Regular Cleaning:

    • Sterling Silver: Use a silver polishing cloth or a silver cleaner to gently remove tarnish. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

    • Gold (18K): Clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

    • Stainless Steel: Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For stubborn stains, use a gentle metal cleaner.

  • Avoid Exposure:

    • Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.

    • Water: Remove jewelry before swimming or showering to prevent damage from chlorine and soap.

  • Storage:

    • Keep Separate: Store each piece in a separate pouch or jewelry box to avoid scratching.

    • Dry Place: Store jewelry in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing and damage.

  • Handling:

    • Gentle Touch: Handle jewelry with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils and dirt.

    • Regular Checks: Inspect your jewelry regularly for loose stones or signs of wear.
