Cleaning cloth

At some point I ordered a relatively large pack of these cloths (Amazon link) for various things I wanted microfiber for from cleaning boots to just generally wiping down surfaces I didn't want to scratch. They are incredibly soft, I keep one with my sunglasses, several in my boot box, and for watches.

I really like these, but honestly I use the inside of my t-shirt to clean my watch much more commonly than anything else. MAYBE this is the casual equivalent of picking your nose, but my t-shirt is on-hand and is typically relatively clean, and it only takes a moment to wipe the watch down in a private ceremony if I'm concerned someone will think I'm being low-brow by not pulling my dedicated cloth out of my breast pocket (or whatever). I've got to admit I also habitually wipe the watch face down multiple times per day in this way.

If your watch has a sapphire face you are ridiculously unlikely to scratch the face, I can't speak for anyone else but in 15+ years of wearing sapphire I've never scratched one. Obviously a case of steel/titanium or precious metal is going to be a lot easier to scratch, and the most common thing you're going to have to worry about is dust containing silicon in one form or another (tiny pieces of sand or quartz, for example). Silicon containing stuff is fairly common, quartz is one of the most common minerals on the entire planet and you're probably encountering it in a dust form every single day. But it has to get on the surface and then it has to be driven into the surface with pressure. Brush your watch off lightly first, then apply more pressure, will help reduce this.

The inside of your t-shirt is pretty unlikely to contain anything that could do that, imo.




As always, YMMV.

NASA t- shirts should be used to clean speedy pros.

😜

I've bought a bunch of fancy fabrics and overpriced shit to clean watches but I end up using what's closest and easiest -- my shirt.

The year is 2157

The t-shirt is still the best option for cleaning your limited edition MarsXSwatch

Except by 2157 your LE MarsXSwatch has a dead battery and global warming has melted the plastic case onto your wrist in a blob of toxic shit.

Sounds rough, is the Skywalker ok???

You really don’t need a cleaning cloth. The best way to clean your watch is through hard work and let the sweat wash away the grime. Sweat also makes the best suntan lotion.
