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
I'm assuming that none of us are loaded enough to own gold, silver, or gem encrusted watches, if you are then get your butler to do it
For a start, if you can, remove the strap from your watch

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
Now we want to clean the strap

For a steel bracelet, you can use the bowl of soapy water
For leather, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of gentle soap, then go over it again with just a damp cloth to remove the soap
You can additionally use some leather conditioner
For a fabric strap (NATO, ZULU, etc.) you can just sling them in the washing machine with your regular laundry
