If your watch is decently waterproof (marked 50M or better) then you'll want a small bowl of hot water with dish soap in it and a soft toothbrush, if you don't know what to do with that setup then god help you

If your watch isn't, then clean it with a slightly damp cloth with a small amount gentle soap, using a toothbrush to get at the fiddly bits

As apparently the resident watch nerd in this corner of the 'verse, here's how to clean your watch properly

It's on your wrist, it's gonna get gunk on it, if you don't clean it occasionally it's a goddamn petri dish

For a start, if you can, remove the strap from your watch

If you can't make your own neurotransmitters store-bought is fine

it's like a pilot coming on the tannoy to announce "there is no reason to be alarmed"

"UK government says that "there's enough food to go around""

okay, I wasn't worried about that at all before they made that announcement but they just had to say that to make me marginally concerned
