I use an ultrasonic I got on amazon (25-30 bucks if I remember) and pull the bracelet off 2-3 times a year and I'm always surprised that the water gets a little cloudy every time. I use vareat spray once a week or every other. Tooth brush soapy water once a month or less on the watch head. That varaet really does give it a nice shine though.

That's awesome. It's good to show people because sadly some just don't know. They think the toothbrush may even scratch the watch or that showering is enough.
I used to think showering did the job, boy was I wrong. I would notice build of gunk in the corners and inside the clasp. For just getting sweat off from a nice long hot day it's ok but to really get it clean, you have to be more proactive.
So it's great to share info and different techniques. An ultra sound would also be good to include a couple times a year like Doctorsti does.

To crispy clean watches.
