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 i found that like 12 seconds after posting :) you gotta love it :)
 
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 :)
