    Cleaning Polished Titanium Apple Watch Series 10

    Love the look of the natural titanium Apple Watch Series 10. How is everyone cleaning the watch case when it gets smudgy/dirty. How is your watch holding up to scratches? I am nervous to wipe it down and cause micro scratches.

    Dust

    Let’s say that after 6 months I want to clean my MBP(2019) from dust. Will I void any warranty when I open up de back to clean it? I read this was okay with older Macbooks, but I’m not sure with the new ones. It would suck if it voids warranty.
