Steve Madden Rhodium Plated and Black Band Watch with Cross Pendant Necklace Jewelry Set For Men. The best way to care for your watch is to make sure it is the last thing you put on and first thing you take off. Avoid exposing it to chemicals, like chlorine, strong detergents and ammonia that could damage the finish. If you need to clean your watch, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth should do the trick. Never sleep or work out in your watch.
