Do Apple Watch straps get grubby easily?

[Houseplantmad]

I like the creamy coloured one but am worried it’ll get really dirty. Are the lighter coloured ones hard to keep clean?

I have the light pink one and it does get grubby quickly. They are easily cleaned but it annoyed me so I switched to a dark blue

yeah, gets dirty fast, but also very easy to clean.

I have cream and pink from apple, and a few nude ones from other brands. Tbh they don't get particularly dirty (I wear them in the gym and say to day, and fake tan + moisturise to give an idea of the skin it's on 😂) I clean them when I swatch them, but they aren't ever really noticeably dirty. Unsure if it's my OTT sanitiser use though!

Thanks that’s helpful @Thestoppedfan the dark blue was my other choice for this reason.

You can get replacement straps really cheap on Amazon too

I found a lovely leather strap on Amazon that has worn really well and I also bought a metallic bracelet strap that looks like the expensive one that apple sell but half the cost. Both absolutely fine and still going strong.

I have the pink one, it seems to have a bluish stain to it, don’t know why, from my jeans maybe but I don’t see how. Anyway it gets grubby yes.

They do get grubby easily and mostly clean up ok, but whatever you do don’t wear it with new jeans, the dye gets into the strap and no matter what I do I can’t get rid of the stain! I’ve lost 2 straps this way 😂

I've got the white rubbery one, it does get a little grubby but a wet flannel soon sorts it (wearing it to swim in probably helps too TBH). 2 years of every day wear and no stains, it's as good as new.

Mine is still like new, but I swim in it twice a week, so swimming makes them clean

The fabric ones I chuck in with a 30 wash, the rubber ones clean up well with soap and water. I’ve got dozens (Ali express used to be a pound or two for them) but I usually defer to a metal bracelet strap because it’s comfier.
