Watch Pressure Testing. Pressure Testing Your Watch. A popular watch repair we are asked to perform at Timepiece Watch Repairs in Wigan is a watch 'pressure' test. A pressure test will confirm that your watch is still water resistant to the manufacturers specification once a repair has been carried out. This is normally required after a new battery is fitted or occasionally when other case repairs are carried out such as a replacement glass, pusher or winder.
Each of these watch components play a part in your wristwatch's resistancy to water. A sealed watch (splash- resistant or higher) was originally manufactured with a seal at each entry point of the watch case. These entry points include: - Glass/Crystal- Case back- Buttons & Pushers. Some watches may have other entry points however the ones listed are the most common. Over time, the seals on these entry points can begin to wear out.
If one of these seals is removed in order to gain entry to the case or to replace a damaged part, the watch will no longer be guaranteed water resistant and a pressure test will be necessary. A 'reseal' and pressure test can be carried out for you at our branch of Timepiece Watch Repairs in Wigan after a battery replacement or other watch repair.
If the seals are worn out, they can normally be replaced. Over time, rubber seals will dry out and start to crack, especially if the watch is used in salty or chlorinated water.
