Proper care and maintenance can help ensure your beater watch lasts for years to come. Follow these tips to keep your watch in optimal condition: Clean your watch regularly with a soft cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and debris. For water-resistant models, rinse the watch under fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields. Have your watch serviced by a professional every few years, especially if it's an automatic or mechanical model. Store your watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, and avoid direct sunlight.
