Terrible to admit I’ve never actually thoroughly cleaned any of my watches but then I rarely wear them long enough to get dirty. Usually give them a rub over before I put them on.

I’d use a stiff toothbrush and warm water (being careful near the case if water resistance is minimal), dab dry with a paper kitchen towel then finish off with a polishing cloth.

Cheers Roy, last time it was in the watch shop for the strap to be adjusted, she moaned about how clean the strap wasn’t.

Babywipes, then a go-over with microfibre cloth works a treat.
(assuming no pitting, rust n stuff)

Cheers Gary, nothing nasty, its only 3 years old I think, and recently I was wearing my Apple Watch on a daily basis.

Steer clear of wipes that contain alcohol though as they may degrade seals and gaskets plus I'd be concerned wipes might leave a residue that attracts more dust/dirt.

I use babywipes to clean the knobs, and fascia of my preamps.
