Can I wash my leather band with water?

Leather bands should not be washed with water. For cleaning your strap refer to your local watch dealer to get a special leather cleaning product.

Yes, the length of our steel and ceramic bracelets can be adjusted to fit an individual wrist size. When you order with jowissa.com we shorten the bracelet for you free of charge. Optionally your local watch dealer may also offer the bracelet adjustment as a service.

Is my watch water resistant?

A Jowissa watch is tested for 3 to 20 ATM water resistance depending on the collection.
3 ATM: Watches tested for 3 ATM should not be worn when bathing or showering. They are build to withstand light rain, sweat and brief water contact.
5 ATM: Watches tested for 5 ATM are made to withstand rain, sweat and short swims.
10 ATM: Short dives, swim and other water sports are ok
20 ATM: Deep Dives, swims and other water sports are ok.

How long will the battery of my watch last?

The expected battery life is 2 to 4 years depending on external factors like heat and cold. Jowissa uses standard silver oxide battery cells in combination with high quality and low energy consuming Swiss quartz movements.

On which wrist does a woman wear a watch?

According to etiquette, a woman should wear her watch on the left wrist if she is right-handed. This traditional rule places the watch on the non-dominant hand to prevent damage and scratches from daily tasks. However, modern fashion is flexible: many women choose the wrist that best complements their other jewelry. If you wear a heavy bracelet on your left hand, it is perfectly stylish and practical to wear your watch on the right wrist to balance your look and avoid scratching the timepiece.

What does "Swiss Made" actually mean?

A watch can only be labeled "Swiss Made" if it meets strict legal standards set by the Swiss government. It requires that the movement is Swiss, the movement is cased up in Switzerland, and at least 60% of the production costs of a watch taken as a whole must from Switzerland. At Jowissa, we proudly assemble our watches by hand in Bettlach, Switzerland, ensuring every timepiece meets these high standards of quality and precision.
