Title: How to keep your watch surrounding dry?
Post by: Clicko on October 17, 2014, 03:17:28 PM: This may be a silly question but I really like to know where you guys keep your watches? in drawer? in watch box? And how to keep the surrounding dry? Do you use some kind of moisture absorber? If yes, where to purchase?

Don't know if you will really need this if your watch is a modern one with good WR. Opinion from other members? And keep away from the blue coloured silicon desiccant... will cause cancer!

the humidity won't damage your watch.

if our humidity can damage a watch, then i don't think your iphone or samsung can survive
