Keep away from places with high moisture. If the leather band gets wet, remove the band from the apple watch and clean with a dry cloth. If you plan to exercise with your apple watch. Switch the leather band with another band that is dedicated to heavy sweat resistance and can get wet.  If you notice your apple watch band begins to fade or dry out in some areas. We recommend using a very small amount of Bick4 by Bickmore to replenish the leather. We advise taking the band off your apple watch case before applying.
