Apple Watch has become the worldâs most popular smartwatch and itâs used in
a wide range of environments and activities. With that in mind, itâs not a
big surprise that the wearable has been found to hold on to harmful bacteria,
so making a regular cleaning habit is important. Letâs look at the doâs and
dontâs of sanitizing and cleaning Apple Watch.
