Rhinestone Case & Milanese Metal Strap for Apple Watch

Metal Watch Band Care Instructions

Keep your metal smartwatch band looking sleek and lasting longer with these simple care tips:

Daily Care

• Wipe after wear: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat, oils, and dust.
• Avoid chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can tarnish or corrode metal finishes. Apply them before putting on your watch.

Weekly Cleaning

• Detach the band (if possible) from the watch.
• Soak in warm soapy water (mild dish soap) for 2–3 minutes.
• Scrub gently using a soft toothbrush, especially in links or grooves.
• Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.

Polishing

• For stainless steel, use a metal polishing cloth to maintain shine.
• Avoid abrasive polishes on plated or colored bands (e.g., black, gold, rose gold), which can wear away the coating.

Storage Tips

• Store in a dry, cool place away from humidity.
• Use a watch pouch or box to avoid scratches when not in use.
• Keep away from magnetic objects to prevent interference with sensors.

Extra Tips

• If wearing during workouts or in humid environments, consider switching to a silicone or nylon band and save your metal one for daily wear or special occasions.
• Check clasps and links regularly to ensure they're secure.

Are metal bands waterproof?

Breakdown by Material:

Stainless Steel: Generally safe in water (e.g., rain, handwashing), and won’t rust easily—but it can tarnish or dull over time if exposed to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat without cleaning.

Titanium: Very corrosion-resistant and lightweight; also safe in water, but pricier.

Plated Metals (e.g., gold- or black-coated steel): These can lose their finish over time with water exposure, especially with frequent swimming or sweating.

Mesh/Milanese Bands: Water can get trapped in the fine mesh, making them slower to dry and possibly uncomfortable or prone to skin irritation.

Best Practices:

• Okay for: Occasional splashes, rain, brief handwashing.
• Avoid: Swimming, showering, or long-term water exposure, especially in salt or chlorinated water.
• After contact with water: Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
