Can your body affect your watch? Yes, of course, your body can affect its normal function, and it depends on your physical levels of electricity and the magnetic levels in the body.
Why do watches stop when you die? The movements of a person power some products, and if the person stops moving, the product will stop working. Why do watches always die on me? It happens because of the sweat you produce in your body. These sweats will touch your sensitive parts in the product, and by that, they all going to rust. So it affects the standard functionality and stops from working.

My gasket stretched and I discarded it. Then I will smear some common rubber cement into the gap between the back and the watch case. I will tighten the back the rest of the way. I should get a good seal I can still open again easily when I need to access the battery, and no shreds of hardened cement should reach the delicate moving parts in the works.
I have actually worn my watch for a few months without a gasket or a seal. Moisture has not collected inside the crystal if I was not perspiring. Some are sold in assortments and some individually. Unfortunately, Seiko uses part numbers rather than dimensions on its "O"-rings and I have not found a key to the numbers so I can order the right gasket for my watch. The Esslinger site also has some tutorial information for the amateur. The graphic is a depiction of an "O"-ring, including a cross sectional view.
The diameter of the material and the internal diameter are the key measurements for a watch back. It is not advisable for the home tinkerer to remove screws and parts on a quartz movement. But, at this link , you can read about how quartz watches work. In summary, current from a battery causes a quartz tuning fork to vibrate at 32, times per second. A micro-processor divides these vibrations and sends a pulse to a stepper motor once every second.
The motion generated by the stepper motor is divided by factors of 60 to move the minute hand and the hour hand. The photo shows the inside parts of a common, inexpensive quartz clock movement.
The little can is the quartz tuning fork. The copper coil that is part of the stepper motor is also visible, as are the gears that break down the motion of the second hand for minutes and hours.
The micro-processor is on a small circuit board inside what you can see, as is the rest of the stepper motor. I once did an Instructable on modifying a quartz clock movement with a switch for timing oneself during public speaking.
This is one of my very few adventures in watch repair. I know nothing about watch and clock repair. There are forums on watch repair on the Internet. Please take your questions about problems you are having to those. There are also books available for sale or in your public library on watch repair. Tip 1 year ago. Phil, Speaking of watches, I added this instructable a few weeks ago.
I have accumulated several watches as gifts over the years, and I decided to convert one to a pocket watch to wear in my shop. Reply 1 year ago. John, Thank you for the link. You have more experience with leatherwork than I do. The photo is a pocket watch movement with a turned walnut mount. I did this for a friend and it is hanging in a display globe on his desk.
At that time I had gotten a slightly smaller movement and made a walnut mount for it. Both movements came from Klockit. They are quartz. But, I discovered the hard way they are not shock resistant. I had enjoyed mine until that day.
There was a time when my only watch was an inexpensive pocket watch. I am contenting myself with a wristwatch for the workshop and one for dress. Phil, I have an old watch that I was given to me many years ago, and after replacing the battery it still ran slow. I found your instructable on how you fixed your quartz watch, followed your directions, and mine is now running perfectly! You post great instructables! Hope you are doing well! John Ownby knife John, A week or two after you posted this comment I noticed my current quartz dress watch was losing time.
Recently it lost 30 minutes in a week. After my unsuccessful second fix on the previous watch that caused damage when I could not get the stem back in, I decided to use canned air without removing the stem. I did what I could to get air into the movement. A good rule of thumb when it comes to watch batteries is to replace them every two years. A quartz watch, however, can last three years or longer because they do not have second hands.
Have your watch serviced and battery replaced by a professional; doing it yourself runs the risk of damaging the intricacies inside the watch by accident. If your watch is not water-resistant and it took a nice dive in the pool or even the shower, it might have water damage. Even a little rain can cause a watch to stop working or work improperly. Your best bet is to bring the watch in for service so a certified technician can dry it out.
