Fear of wearing your watch on a bike or motorbike ? What you need to know

Have you just bought, or are you thinking of buying, a watch and are worried about its durability during your daily commutes by bike or motorcycle? Don't panic, Team Charlie Paris reveals everything you need to know about this in this article.

Wearing an automatic watch while motorcycling or cycling

A automatic watch It consists of numerous parts vulnerable to strong vibrations. The vibrations of a motorcycle engine or the poor condition of a road can damage the watch's movement. However, this phenomenon is rather rare and generally does not cause any serious malfunctions. Using a bicycle is significantly less risky because the watch is only exposed to road conditions. Nevertheless, it is possible to monitor the impact of your rides on your watch by watching for any signs of drift. We generally recommend having your automatic watch serviced every 7 years to ensure its proper functioning. However, if you regularly use two-wheeled vehicles for your daily commute, we advise having your watch serviced approximately every 5 years.

Wearing a quartz watch while riding a motorcycle or bicycle

The use of a two-wheeler with a quartz watch will be less traumatic for your watch. Indeed, the mechanism of a quartz watch has fewer screwed and moving parts than an automatic watch mechanism. As a result, the mechanism is simpler and less sensitive to the vibrations of your motorcycle or road conditions in general. Although a battery-powered watch is less vulnerable to this type of movement, the automatic watch remains the favorite of a large number of watch collectors. If this concerns you, rest assured, it is still possible to wear a beautiful automatic watch on your wrist during your rides if it meets certain conditions.
