I bought one of these last month;



Sometimes when I wear it and sweat a bit it seems to steam up very slightly.
Anybody come across this problem before?
Its under warranty and I could send it back but I cant really be arsed TBH.
Love the watch otherwise.

Is the back sealed properly? Had the same on a Fossil watch of mine. Would be fine when putting it on, but after an hour or so would steam up. Took the back off. Left on side for a day, put back together. Spot on since. thumbup

Yes, it's got water inside it. You'd do well to dry it out asap before anything starts to rust inside.

Thanks for that! Will open it up and dry it out.
I presumed everything inside would be stainless so would not rust?
Not good anyway obviously!
