Remove Water from Inside a Watch Face

How to remove water or condensation from inside the face of a watch.

Steps

  1. Remove the back as if you were changing the battery.
  2. There are several ways to remove the water:
    • Lay the watch face down, on a cloth, in the sun.
    • Lay it down in front of a fan or a register grate.
    • Use the "low heat" setting of a hair dryer on the watch.
    • Before replacing the back, check the rubber seal is in the right place. Replace if worn out or add a small quantity of Vaseline if in good condition. This should prevent future water problems.
