Mine gets showered once or twice a day, Cleaned with micro fibre cloth and Muc-Off Screen Cleaner each morning when I set the time to an atomic clock, and I have micro fibre and screen cleaner in my desk draw at work and in my rucksack for customer visits. Cant stand smudges or fingerprints

A Microfibre cloth cannot scratch steel

No, but a small piece of debris trapped between the cloth and steel can. It's unlikely and it doesn't stop me using a cloth personally, but I understand the point.

Wait, so people actually stop wiping their watch at some point? I'm basically always wiping my watch on something and when I put it in the box to sleep I wipe it for like a solid 7 minutes lol.

Couldn't agree more....this is my thinking as well.

Look at guys motorcycles that are always wiping them down with dirty rags all the time....tons of scratches.
Never dry wipe anything if at all possible.
Each to their own though.
If you buy me a Rolex and want me to buff it every hour with a microfiber towel....well I'd oblige you.
But seems how that isn't likely to happen, and i'm paying for my own watches, I'll stick to my cleaning regime : )

Mine too.
The most stretch I've been experiencing lately is in my waist region though.
Somebody keeps shrinking my belts :(

Very rarely. I do shower with it most days so it gets clean that way. I will rinse and wipe it after being in the ocean.
