How to Deal with Fogging in Your Watch

Method 1: Desiccant Absorption (for Mild Fogging)

  1. Silica Gel Desiccant
Put your watch with silica gel desiccant in a sealed bag. The desiccant can absorb moisture. Leave for a few hours to a day until the fog disappears. You can find silica gel in some food or electronic product packaging.

  2. Using Rice (an Emergency Method)
Bury your watch in rice for about a day. Rice can absorb water, but it's less effective than silica gel.

Method 2: Heating and Drying (Needs to be Operated with Caution)

  1. Drying with a Light Bulb
Pull out the watch crown, and place the watch 10 - 15 cm from a low - heat bulb. Heat it for 1 - 2 hours, observing closely. Stop when the fog is gone.

  2. Using a Hair Dryer (on Low - Heat Setting)
Set the dryer to low - heat. Hold it 15 - 20 cm from the watch and blow evenly. Move the dryer to avoid overheating. Check after a few minutes. Repeat if needed, with breaks.

Method 3: Professional Repair (a More Secure Option)
