I’ve got a Garmin vívoactive 4 that I’ve been using almost daily for the last 3 years. Recently it’s started causing some irritations on my wrist (slight redness and dry skin). I’m assuming that it needs a really good clean but I’m not sure what’s the best. Dish soap and warm water? Or is there something better?

    Skin irritation is a pretty good sign that it’s about time to clean it.

    If the wristband is made of silicon, you can just clean it with soap and water.

    I think I’ve read somewhere that the watch itself should be washed with normal water instead. I guess there are some gaps and holes where soap isn’t welcome.

    If you have a fancy metal wristband, soap will do an acceptable job, but an ultrasound bath would be better.
