Question about condensation

Hi,

New guy here and a budding watch enthusiast., i have a question regarding condensation... Is it normal for it to build-up on the crystal when exiting a air conditioned room?

You see i was relaxing in my bedroom for around 10min with the AC blowing towards my direction and when i went out to the living room i noticed that the crystal fogged up... temperature here is humid at 27°, i waited for a minute to see if it would dissipate but seeing it wasn't i just wiped it off with a micro-fiber cloth and found it was only on the surface of the crystal. Still it made me wonder so i did a search on the web but all i could find was discussions on condensation inside the crystal which i now know to be a bad thing but what i want to know is if condensation outside the crystal is also something to worry about.

Thank you in advance.

Think of it this way: what if it rains and your watch get wet?

Completely normal. Just like getting out of an air conditioned car on a hot and humid day and having condensation on your glasses. If it were on the inside, then you have major issues.
