Let’s face it: your Apple Watch band has been through some stuff. Whether you’re working out, running errands, or even just chilling, your trusty band is right there with you.
But after a while, you may notice something… a not-so-fresh scent. Apple Watch band smells are real, and they happen to the best of us. But don't worry—I'm here to guide you through why this happens and how to avoid it!
Why Does My Apple Watch Band Smell?
It’s simple: sweat, dirt, and oils from your skin get trapped in the band over time. Whether you're hitting the gym or just wearing it day-to-day, your Apple Watch band is constantly exposed to moisture and grime. This can lead to some unwanted odors.
But here’s the good news: it’s an easy fix! And while you’re at it, why not treat yourself to a fresh, new band from our store? More on that in a minute!
How to Keep Your Apple Watch Band Smelling Fresh
-
Regular Cleaning
First and foremost, clean your band! A quick wipe down with warm water and mild dish soap can do wonders. Note that you should never soak leather bands in water, as they are not water resistant. Simply wipe them with a damp, soft cloth and soapy water in a circular motion. And never dry any band in direct sunlight. -
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Whatever you do, don’t use harsh cleaners or bleach on your band—especially leather or woven bands. These can damage the material. For really stubborn odors, try using good old fashioned baking soda. -
Rotate Your Bands
One of the best ways to prevent bad smells is by rotating your bands. Instead of wearing the same one every day, give them a break!
