VS Factory Super Clone Watches
Water Resistance Testing
From every sealing detail to rigorous pressure testing, VS Factory enforces strict quality control through professional inspections, ensuring that every timepiece confidently passes water-resistance tests.
Watch Water Resistance Details
Water resistance isn't a single component — it's the result of precision sealing at every joint: crown, case back, and crystal.
Screw-Down Crown
The crown houses multiple O-ring gaskets and threads tightly onto the crown tube when screwed in, sealing moisture away from the movement as the first line of defense.
Screw-Down Case Back
The case back uses a screw-down design with an O-ring gasket made of rubber, silicone or fluoroelastomer — elastic, aging-resistant, and firmly locking in the movement.
Sapphire Crystal
The sapphire crystal bonds tightly with the case via a compression ring and gasket, staying clear and scratch-resistant while keeping the joint watertight.
VS Factory Waterproof Testing Process
Before leaving the factory, every watch undergoes a rigorous multi-stage inspection to ensure its rated water resistance is genuine.
Visual & Seal Inspection
Visually inspect the crown, case back and crystal for correct assembly, and verify that gaskets are intact and not aged, with screw-down components properly tightened.
Pre-checkDry Air-Pressure Test (Leak Detection)
The watch is placed in a sealed chamber and pressurized with compressed air. High-precision sensors detect case deformation or pressure change caused by leakage — a non-destructive airtightness check.
Non-destructiveVacuum Test
Under negative pressure, the sealing integrity is checked once more to reveal micro-leaks that normal pressurization might miss.
Negative pressureWater Immersion Pressure Test
The watch is immersed in water and gradually pressurized to the depth corresponding to its rating (e.g. 10ATM = 100m), while observing the case, crown and case back for escaping bubbles.
Actual water pressureCondensation Test
After heating the watch, a drop of cold water is placed on the crystal to check whether condensation forms inside — detecting any moisture ingress into the movement.
Moisture ingressRe-inspection & Record
Passing watches receive a final visual check and their test data is recorded; non-conforming units are reworked and retested, so every watch that ships meets its rated standard.
Quality controlDaily Water Resistance Care Tips
Water resistance changes with use and gasket aging; correct daily habits can significantly extend the water-resistant life of your watch.
Do
- Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any contact with water
- Choose a ≥10ATM rating for swimming / snorkeling
- Rinse the case with fresh water after exposure to seawater
- Replace gaskets and re-test water resistance every 1–2 years
- Have water resistance checked regularly by professional service
Don't
- Don't wear in hot baths, saunas, or hot springs
- Don't expose to water with the crown pulled out
- Avoid perfume, soap and other chemicals
- Avoid extreme temperature changes (sudden hot/cold)
- Don't open the case back or remove the crown yourself
