Question

How do I get condensation out of the inside of my waterproof (!!!) watch without taking it apart? Any tricks?

Answer 1

How did it get in there? Probably it was hot before going into a cooler environment (mist or rain) The rapid cooling causes suction inside and moisture is sucked in through the rim. Try the reverse. Place in a plastic bag then into the fridge for an hour. Take it out of fridge and bag. Stand it on edge in very warm sun. Not by heaters as they dry up the natural oils. Good luck.

Answer 2

Try a hair dryer or leave it out in the sun 4 a while

Answer 3

hair dryer or heater

Answer 4

It should eventually dry out; follow other posters' advice.  

If this watch is truly water resistant, there is something wrong with it if you're getting condensation inside.  You should either buy a new one (if it was cheap) or have it looked at (if it was expensive.)

Answer 5

A hair dryer can somestimes help.

Answer 6

Try putting it in either some salt or rice. Both will absorb the moisture that's inside. It does work but leave it in at least over night. As for the hair dryer, it may ruin it due to the heat and will melt any plastic parts. Be careful!

Answer 7

I had this problem with a watch I wore into the pool.  It was a waterproof model, but the constant dunking in cold followed by a soak in the hot tub eventually drew water past the seal and into the body.  Take it to a watch repair shop and pay the $16.00 to have it dried out.  They will put the watch in  a 'dehumidifier' with the back off overnight and in the morning it will be as good as new. That is cheap compared to the expense of buying a new one .

Answer 8
