Agreed. Ultrasonic cleaners are cheap and effective at getting grit out, especially from hollow link bracelets.

What technique do you use to avoid scratching in the ultrasonic cleaner?

Anyone have a recommendation for an Ultrasonic cleaner for watches?

Seconded. I saw someone on here talking about how well one that's 800 watts would do vs the low wattage ones, which I'm assuming most of the ones around $30 on Amazon are.
