Have you faced the issue of your watch fogging due to water?
Here are solutions.
 

Method 1: Desiccant Absorption (for Mild Fogging)

  1. Silica Gel Desiccant
Put your outdoor advanture 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 outdoor advanture 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 outdoor advanture 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 outdoor advanture 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)

If the fogging is severe or persists after simple treatment, take your outdoor advanture watch to a professional repair shop. They'll use tools like a vacuum drying oven to fix it.
