👉 Watches fumes refer to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful chemicals released by certain watch components, particularly those made from plastics, resins, and adhesives. These substances can off-gas into the air, especially when the watches are first worn or exposed to heat, leading to a noticeable odor. Common fumes include benzene, formaldehyde, and phthalates, which can be irritating to the respiratory system and skin. While modern watch materials have improved significantly in terms of reducing harmful emissions, some older or lower-quality watches may still emit noticeable fumes, making it important for consumers to choose products from reputable brands that prioritize safety and quality.
