This watch strap is splash-resistant, meaning it can handle hand washing, light rain, and accidental water exposure. However, like all leather watch straps, it should not be worn while swimming, showering, or during extended water activities.

We recommend that you clean your watch strap from time to time, especially if it is being worn every day and throughout exercise. To do this, we recommend that you remove the strap from your watch (although not essential) and clean all areas of the strap with warm water and a small amount of soap.

You can completely submerge this watch strap in water without fear that the strap might get damaged. It is entirely waterproof which makes frequent cleaning nice and easy for you.

We do recommend that you rinse your watch strap after exposing it to seawater and pool water. This strap is resistant to chemicals and salt, but it is good practice to rinse the strap in clean water once you are done. We also recommend that you allow the strap to dry completely before putting it back on your wrist.

As with many watch straps, this model can be paired with a deployant clasp.

The benefits of pairing this watch strap with a clasp include:

• Improved comfort.
• More secure.
• Easier to put on and take off.
• Prolongs the life of the watch strap.
