 its been exactly 1 year since I bought this watch and I noticed recently that the metal rim has changed to blue colour. Any idea why this is happening?

Hi @AbhiVarma.

 

That's strange, it looks almost like an oily coating of some sort. Perhaps something has got onto the metal and reacted with it? I assume you have already tried cleaning it without any success?

 

Edit - -

 

A quick Google suggests such "blueing" can occur when stainless Steel is heated up, something to do with a thin layer of iron oxide forming. Some suggestions are to use vinegar to restore the metal, although I'd recommend you do some research before attempting anything.

 

I would also recommend contacting customer support before you attempt any self repairs, perhaps it will be covered under warranty.

Try to look at the bright spot here, you have a one off patina sense. 😉
