Many third parties make accessory bands for Apple!Watch. Such bands may not fit properly;
may interfere with the Apple!Watch Wrist Detect feature; may interfere with Compass on
Apple!Watch Series!5, Apple!Watch!SE, and Apple!Watch Series!6; may contain materials that
cause skin sensitivities or other health concerns; and may even damage Apple!Watch. For
best results, use only Apple-branded or Apple-authorized bands.
How to clean Apple-branded bands
Remove the band from Apple!Watch before cleaning.
See
.
Note:
This cleaning information applies to Apple-branded bands only. For all other bands,
follow the care information provided with the band.
For the leather portions of the bands, wipe them clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth,
lightly dampened with fresh water (if necessary). After cleaning, let the band air dry
thoroughly before re-attaching to Apple!Watch. Don’t store leather bands in direct sunlight,
at high temperatures, or in high humidity. Don’t soak leather bands in water. Leather bands
are not water resistant.
For all other bands and clasps, wipe them clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth, lightly
dampened with fresh water (if necessary). Dry the band thoroughly with a nonabrasive, lint-
free cloth before re-attaching to Apple!Watch. Stainless steel bands are not water resistant.
