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?

    I clean my Samsung watch with a wet wipe (the kind you use on human skin - like a baby wipe or “flushable” wipe – which isn’t, never flush those things), and dry the face/underside with a smooth microfiber cloth. The band I have is some form of leather, so yrmv.

    My skin can’t stand silicone bands so I stick to metal or leather.

    Garmin Forerunner user here.

    I just wash mine with hand soap and water after each run or if I’ve been working in the garden - typically gets washed every other day.

    Three years on, no problems here.
