MAGNETISM
We have received watches for repair with recurring complaints of stopping or losing time intermittently, often at night.
The cause is usually magnetism from bed underlays, cell phones and other electronic devices with magnetic components
including speakers and microwaves. Because quartz analogue watches use tiny electromagnetic motors they are
susceptible to magnetic influences but removing the watch from the source of magnetism usually leaves no lasting
damage and the watch will run normally.

ALLERGY TO PLATING
Other than those made from titanium, all watches have a nickel content. In the case of Olympic watches the nickel
content is very low and is generally in accordance with European Union laws EN1811 and EN12472. For consumers
who may have an allergy problem it is recommended that they first consider the purchase of a titanium watch,
followed by stainless steel.

CONDENSATION / LEAKING
Check that the glass is not cracked or chipped. If a screw crown model check that the screw crown has been used in accordance
with instructions in the instruction booklet. Also check whether the watch is being worn in hot water, e.g. shower, spa pool,
as the seals may have deteriorated.
