If you don’t maintain your watch band clean, bacteria can accumulate around the buckle and in the seams. Make it a practice to clean your watch band just like you would a silicone ring every few weeks to avoid the possibility of it acquiring a bad odor.

Don’t worry, your Groove Watch Band isn’t made of wool – wait, where did my sweater go, and why are doll clothes in my dryer… Can anyone else relate? – It can handle all of your adventures and more!

If you decide to go whitewater rafting or swim in a swimming hole, your Flow Watch Band will live and thrive alongside you.
