Shock & Vibration Protection in Watches
Impacts and repeated vibration can affect accuracy and long-term reliability. Here are the most common protection approaches and daily tips.
What shock can affect
Impacts may shift or stress delicate parts inside the movement, causing timing deviation or damage over time.
What vibration can affect
Continuous vibration can gradually loosen components and increase wear, especially during high-intensity activities.
Common protection approaches
- Shock-protected movement mounting or suspension
- Case structures designed to absorb impact
- Shock-absorbing materials used around key components
- Layered structures that reduce vibration transfer
Practical tips: avoid hard drops, remove the watch for high-impact sports when possible,
and have accuracy checked if you notice sudden changes after a strong удар/impact.
