Quartz Watch
Posted in Watches on 03/17/2010 10:14 pm by adminMy watchmaker Dad (long dead) advised against turning hands backwards. But does that harm a quartz watch?
In his time of course, he was against turning a WIND-UP watch backwards; he said it harmed the mechanism. So are quartz watches to be treated with the same respect?
Depends on the watch, but in general if you are talking about moving the hands backward a lot, yes that harms them (because of the way they are put together). However, you can move the minute hand back 5 minutes without any problem. In fact, you set a Seiko watch by moving the minute had ahead by 5 minutes and then back it to the correct time.
