Best Way to Clean Link Band?

[predation]

Anyone know what’s the best way to clean the link band? Like cleaning all the nooks and crannies.

Does Apple have some sort of recommended way?

If it was me, I’d soak in warm, soapy water before using an old toothbrush to clean out the nooks and crannies.
Another option might be a jewellery cleaner bath - available from Amazon.

If it was me, I’d soak in warm, soapy water before using an old toothbrush to clean out the nooks and crannies.

I would not soak the link band. I would use a soft bristle brush, a warm microfiber dampened cloth and a toothpick if needed for the hard-to-reach areas. Then thoroughly dry with lint free cloth.

This is similar to what Apple recommends to clean the link band:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204522

"For all other bands, buckles, and closures:

1. Wipe the band clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water.
2. Dry the band with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth before you attach it to your Apple Watch."

It’s made from 316L stainless steel alloy so some warm, soapy water won’t do any harm at all. It’s how I clean mine.

Probably ok for the ss version.


Just not sure about the sb version.
I wonder how the adjustable links are made inside as a sonic cleaner would be nice, but not sure how the vibrations could affect the internals if the band and the sb coating.
