#1 Everyday care is the greatest care
If you want to give your leather band a longer life avoid to wear it in direct sunlight. Another good thing is not to take bath and dip in salt water your favorite Apple Watch leather band. Even water-resistant leather will weaken over time if its exposed to too much water so it’s best to remove your watch when swimming or bathing.
As a natural product your leather strap needs to breathe so time to time you should take it off for example when you go sleeping.
#2 Be gentle with your leather band
Unlike rubber or metal straps a leather band has to be treated in a gentle way. So the best way to clean it is to use soft materials.
Moisture can be easily trapped between your skin and your leather band. To remove it wipe your leather strap with a cotton cloth or microfiber jewelry cloth. Another way is to pat down the strap with a damp cloth. Then, put a small dab of mild, moisturizing hand soap on the cloth before scrubbing the watchband on both sides with it.
#3 Smooth leathers
There are leather straps with a smooth grain and compared with the pigmented nature of suedethey are quite easy to clean. Smooth leather types can easily cleaned with a wet cloth. The best way is to use leather fat or leather spray to create a protective film on your leather strap. It will also protect your watch band from dirt, moisture and even sun. Those products can be easily applied to leather and then polished with a clean cloth.
