Learn how to clean your woven, leather, or sports strap, and what to avoid so they last longer.
Strap care
Remove straps from the watch: Always ensure you remove the straps before cleaning them to avoid damaging the case or disc.
Clean the straps regularly: Regular cleaning helps keep them hygienic, preventing odor and skin irritation; maintain comfort, keeping the strap soft and fresh; and extend lifespan, preventing cracking, stiffness, and fraying.
Let them air dry before wearing: Allow your straps to fully air dry before reattaching them to your watch and wearing them. This helps prevent moisture buildup and reduces the risk of skin irritation.
