My wrist turns black after wearing a watch

Watches have been loved by many people since they came out, because watches are not only convenient for checking time at any time, but some watches also represent a symbol of a person's taste. Especially for men, a good watch can instantly enhance a man's temperament. However, watches are usually worn on the wrist. Some people wear watches at all times, so they will find that the area on the wrist where the watch is worn turns black. So what is the solution?

The reasons why your wrist becomes black when wearing a watch are mostly caused by dust and sweat. This also depends on the individual situation, such as the working environment, the nature of the work, whether the individual sweats easily, and the way the watch strap is worn. Hollow watch straps are more likely to "hide dirt and grime". Dust, fiber and mixed sweat will fill all the gaps in the strap. Once the wrist sweats or gets wet in the summer, the dirt will be dissolved and attached to the skin of the wrist, forming black spots.

People are very different from each other. Some people sweat more easily, and the composition of people's sweat may also be different, such as acidity, alkalinity, and oiliness. This is not entirely a question of personal hygiene. The places where clothes are most easily dirty are the sleeves and collars, and the same goes for watches. Especially in the north, dust is flying everywhere. When a sandstorm comes, the yellow sand rolls and penetrates every hole. Even on sunny days, there will still be a dust index. It is necessary to specifically investigate and analyze the dirt composition of the strap, including everything that can be contacted in life, such as: soap, beer, skin flakes, food, clothing fibers, etc. Therefore, the black marks on your wrists are basically "outsiders". Of course, once they mix with sweat and get into the gaps in the watch strap and take root, they can be considered as having a "household registration".

The dirt mixed with sweat and dust accumulated at the seams of the watch strap is like putty, filling the gaps in the strap and emitting a foul smell. People with careless living habits will not pay much attention to it, but watch repairmen feel it deeply. When washing the oil of the watch, the most mud is actually there. People who often engage in outdoor activities and work hard and sweat a lot basically have watch straps like this.

The watch strap is in better condition if it is made of one piece, ceramic or tungsten steel. This is mainly because the surface of the watch strap is smooth and the gaps are relatively small, making it difficult for dirt to accumulate.

Any watch strap needs to be wiped regularly. If you find black marks on your wrist when wearing a watch, you should clean the strap immediately. You can do it yourself, just be careful not to let the watch case come into contact with water. It is recommended that you remove the watch strap for cleaning. Use detergent as the cleaning liquid, add an appropriate amount, soak the watch strap in relatively hot water for 10 minutes, and then use the softest toothbrush to scrub the gaps in the watch strap. A more professional cleaning equipment is an ultrasonic cleaner. After cleaning, you will find a basin of black water. I didn't expect the watch strap to be so dirty.
