Yes, a watch or a compass, or a cell-phone would have to be hermetically sealed very well in order to survive everyday pressure changes such as aircraft flight, weather pressure cycles and so on.

A well-designed mechanism may incorporate a small air bladder to absorb these changes, but no simple apparatus will do so.

When the air enters the device, due to pressure changes say, it will carry with it some water vapour, and regrettably, this will condense into liquid water when some part of the device gets cool. And it is not simple for this water to evaporate again.

Sit the watch in the sun or a hot/heated area and let it fog up on the inside. Then it will eventually dry up.


How do you clear a watch that is fogged up?

Since it is an issue of getting moisture out of the tightly inclosed watch face/gears, I would take a modern cue from the wet iPhone and seal it in a container of rice. Rice very readily absorbs water, and will actually leach the liquid out from inside the watch. This is why some people keep rice in salt shakers, to prevent moisture and clumping of the salt.
