Only for the bracelet and clasp once removed from the watch itself. Never a good idea for ultrasonic on any watch head as it may force fluid into the watch.

I too have heard - never do the head.
If that photo is your watch are you sure you need the cleaner - it looks absolutely immaculate.

The only reason why you shouldn't do the head of the watch is because I heard it can screw with the timing because of the ultra sonic waves.
I do have one question though, what cleaner should be used? Just regular soap and water? |

My wife decided to use our ultrasonic cleaner on one of her watches and moisture ended up in the watch. |

They are the best way to clean a bracelet, do not use on the watch head. 90% of the time it is not a problem with the head, but why risk it.

I just dangle the bracelet in the ultrasonic for a minute or two, keeping the head above water. I have dipped the whole watch in briefly with no moisture problems.

I've used them. I think they work great on the bracelet. As stated not a good idea to use it on the watch itself.
