How to get moisture out of a watch

Still works, but has moisture on inside of glass. I put a lighter to it and it goes away for awhile, but comes back. Can I put it in a toaster oven for a few minutes to dry it out?

Ive heard people say many times to put cell phones in a bowl of dry white rice to remove moisture from them,so Im sure it would work for a watch as well. Just make sure to leave the watch in the rice over night,and make sure to have none of the watch showing in the rice---it will need to pull moisture from within the tiny parts.

Watch has film inside the glass. Also, the finish has began to decay in appearance.

The film is from moisture getting into your watch. Moisture can get in one of 3 ways generally. The crystal if cracked, the crown, or the back. In your case since you have buttons for the mulch-functions of the watch you add a possible place for moisture to enter. Take the watch to a watchmaker or watch repair person. Your watch has to be taken out of the case and the case needs to be cleaned. Next the watch tec. may be able to see just where the seals failed and replace them. We of course do this. Also if the gasket is old or out of shape this is a culprit as well.
Hope this helps, gabe

Where can I get hold of a replacement glass for my sons watch which he has smashed during freshers week! Watch itself is not scrated and working OK but glass broken

you will need to get it professionally installed since you need to install it properly and have it sealed to prevent water or moisture from entering inside watch . I would say to have it done professionally around 35 dollars. I am pretty sure that the glass is at least mineral .

if you want to try it yourself you can buy online from esslinger or other similar watch parts stores.

How to remove water from inside the wrist watch

Try putting the watch in a warm place for a day or two, to let it dry out. (one maker said that some moisture is not a problem but I guess that is depends on how much "some" is).

If the problem persists, take it to a watch repairer.

Hi i wore my rolex in a hot tub & now it has condensation under the glass how can this be removed

Before anything else, put the watch is a warm place and leave it there fore a day or so, it may dry out on its own.

(Some manufacturers accept that small amounts of moisture inside are to be expected, so it may not be a disaster.)

If it proves to be a persistent problem, then its back to the service center!

Glass foggy or has film on inside

The film is moisture, you may have to remove the back and let if evaporate. You need new seals as it is your sweat that is causing it.
