I purchased a product called Wristclean, I figure for what I paid for these watches I could use a ph balanced cleaner and it’s not that expensive and I clean once a week after wearing

I enjoy cleaning my watches. But for the most part I clean them as needed. If I'm swimming in the ocean or pool, or doing yard work, etc. the watch will be cleaned immediately after. If I'm using it at the computer for a couple weeks straight, it might not see a deep clean for a while.

Not often unless I've got particularly dirty, greasy or sweaty. I will loosen off the clasp and take it in the shower. Rinse it off with clean water, dab off the excess, and let it air dry.

Warm water, hand soap every week or so. Dry with a soft cloth. Always looks pristine.

I just wipe them with a microfiber cloth before putting them on the winder. There are 5 watches in my regular rotation so none get too dirty. I also don’t wear them where they would get too dirty.

I use Wrist Clean every three or four days and dry it with a microfiber cloth. This removes oils that have accumulated and leaves a very nice shine on stainless steel.

Yup, pretty much after every wear or two. Nothing like a freshly cleaned watch on the wrist.

I change watch batteries and you should see the filth people bring in for me to change. It’s legit puke worthy at times and I need to wear gloves. It amazes me people wear watches covered in cheese and don’t even realize it.

I just got a kit from WristClean. No idea what’s in there but I have to say I was really surprised how well it worked.

Definitely going to start using WristClean. Seen a lot of praise for it throughout the forum.

Wrist Clean daily.
Got into the habit to clean them right before I wear them.

Daily, or the next day if watch is still pristine. Dishwashing liquid, then blower while being wiped with lens cleaning cloth to avoid hard water stains.

My goes in the ultrasonic cleaner 3-4 times a week here at work. Just the band, not the movement/case. I have the luxury of professional cleaning equipment to use. If you are simply cleaning it with a surface cleaner, the nasty stuff down in the links is still there. I have watches, including Rolex, come in to my shop that are so dirty you can smell the nastiness.

If it’s a hot, sweaty day I’ll wash it with warm water and soap almost daily. During the winter maybe once a week.

Same. I figure it gets about as dirty as I do.
