how often do you wash your watch?

[Kevzep]

About once a week for me, or after every time I have been in the Sea which is a lot as I am a windsurfer....

[figb]

I wash mine every month, I try to get used to it.

[mkruger311]

Usually every few days. You'll start to see it not looking at crisp after a few days. A simple rinse followed by dawn dish soap lather does the trick.

[derek001]

I wash mine every 6 weeks.

[INC]

"Never"

But it is also true that when I only had "cheap" watches, I often washed them because I saw them as more beautiful and shiny. Today, however, I believe that in my case, this kind of act was some kind of a distraction stemmed from dissatisfaction with my watches.

[Yess]

About 15 times a day in average.

[dshin525]

I usually wash them in the shower if I have been wearing the same watch for a few days with a tooth brush and soap.

[mmbiker]

Daily because I am currently in China and is crazy hot here! Sweat gets into my watch and get sticky....

[Travis29]

Every Monday, soap, water and a tooth brush

[rpstrimple]

Well because we have a one year old, pretty frequently these days!

[billypeoples]

I do twice in a year. lol!!!!

Yeah, it's called luke warm water, some soap and a microfibre cloth of your choosing. A specialist cleaning kit really is not necessary

A lot of these watch 'cleaning' kits come with a polishing cloth, that makes the watch shine but takes away metal, for that reason alone I would steer clear. Nano clear is one I’ve seen, as well as Polywatch have their own kit. I know I am repeating myself, but I wouldn't bother with one of these, get RSC to properly clean and polish every 10 years.

Just wash all the soap off, pat dry with a paper towel and give it the once over with the microfibre cloth. Essentially this is what any cleaning kit will do, less the polishing.

[d33nastyle]

Every day with clear water and wipe it

[Harry-57]

Any watch I'm wearing which is waterproof and not on a leather strap gets washed whenever I shower, usually 1-3 times a day. Others get cleaned when it's obviously needed.

[AJMarcus]

Whenever I’m driving through the car wash I hang my arm out the window. I get the premium wash too.

[sgt10p]

I rinse it off after cycling for 5 hours or so and givea proper clean once a month with Wristclean and toothbrush. It is an amazing product, really makes the watch shine.

I've not been able to find one. I bought from USA last time and I will again later this summer.

[toomuchtalk]

i dont understand? what do you mean wash the watch?

[poppop1955]

when i shower

[physicist]

Maybe once a year.

[Calatrava r]

Not enough, just when I see crud at the lugs/case junction.

[Stan Cooper]

Weekly with Dawn and water, or anytime after my dog licks the crystal.

[csaltphoto]

Depends. Every few weeks in the winter, every week in the summer due to sweat and sunscreen. If I've been in salt water that day it soaks in something while I shower.

[rossi46]

Showering with a watch sounds so weird.

I usually give it a good cleaning 1x week. WristClean is good stuff.

[vesnyder]

I wash mine every 4-8 weeks depending on the amount of wear. Just lather up with some Dawn and give it a quick brush with an old, soft toothbrush. My old hollow jubilee band got a little more attention as there was many more places for the dirt to hide.

[BigJim67]

I don't own a Rolex (yet), but my Omegas get a scrub once in a while. I don't wear them when I'm working on stuff that would get my hands dirty, or when I'm playing golf, or when I'm at the pool/beach, so they aren't exposed to dirt/sand often.

Was told that water and watches don't mix when I was a kid, I'm scared of getting water in them (even though they are all waterproof to a degree).
