Has anyone used an ultra sonic jewelry cleaner on the Watch?
I will be using this for exercise and don't really want to change bands daily (I know I didn't think ahead). I would like the ability to drop her into one of those little ultrasonic baths to clean up the sweat and what-not. I know the watch is rated for sweating and rain but would ultrasonic vibrations allow water to seep in easier? Also, I may be blind, but where is the "Search This Forum" button????

I remember someone a few weeks ago had said they tried this, and it killed the watch. The bands should be ok.

I would NOT place the actual watch in an ultrasonic cleaner. If you have a metal band (like the Milanese), the band itself should benefit from the cleaning. Just don't submerge the watch.

At the top right of the page there is a magnifying glass below your user name. Tap that magnifying glass icon and then tap the gear that replaces it, this will give you some search options.

Yeah so as said, there was someone here that did try this before doing any research and if I recall correctly, it killed the "activate on wrist-raise" feature, likely due to damage to the accelerometer/gyroscope as a result of the ultrasonic cleaning. Nice of them to share their results though, to prevent anyone else from making the same mistake :)
