Hi CBB,
Would echo what Park has said.
Life really miserable without wearing a watch! If I’m going to the hospital(an exposure prone area), SS watch easily washed/removed, shoes left outside home and change of clothes/shower ASAP.
Otherwise, as before. With your lovely leather strap watches, the virus dies after 3-5 days, so if out otherwise(not exposure prone area), you could leave them in rotation. With lockdown, never a better excuse to rotate!
It’s steps 1-3 that are crucial
Hope that helps and look forward to more lovely watch posts to keep us sane!
Covid new norm
What are your takes on this? Apparently virus can stay on leather bands, so one needs to wash or alcohol rub or UV... so if your watches are non-waterproof? ...
Apart from number 7, I have no issues following them!
But point number 7; it's a sacrilege... 🤭 Best regards
Hi CBB, this topic is very topical indeed ! My friends have been eating at restaurants in the past months in accordance to regulations imposed on social distancing. To ensure cleanliness of the cutlery, they brought with them a..
UV light ! Perhaps this method works for watches ? Do let us know what you discover and decide to do ! Stay safe and healthy in the meantime. 😊
UV is a common decontamination tool
However you need a decent amount of power and time. Decon using UV will need to take into account distance from the objects, power of the light, and duration of exposure. Medical grade air filters and many natural water collection filters use a mix of phy...
Some Perspective....
Everyone can choose to live how they like but this seems a little extreme, some points are a little excessive/quirky (leg washing? I guess when wearing shorts?) but not going out is crazy IMHO. I know this has been a stressful time, I'm locked down in NYC...
Probably Excessive
CBB, I think the first three are sufficient if coupled with good judgment about where to go, with whom to associate (at a distance), and what to touch. While suspected contamination could require removing and cleaning shoes, clothing, jewelry, and watches...

Hygiene rules should be the norm
as well as common sense, bt they're gone several years ago. I have close friends in BKK and surprisingly, luckily or whatever the reason to be, you did not experience the casualties we have had in Europe. Is it because of the warmth? the daily showers? I ...
Thank you all
For all your kind advises & inputs. I can’t imagine myself not ever wearing a watch!
Not bad advice. The dirtiest things are your hands, keys, mobile phone, etc.
Things your hands touch are often the dirtiest things. So car door handles, mobile phones, keys, doorknobs, etc. all need to be cleaned frequently. I wrote a post (with help from two doctors) about what kind of watches to wear during the SARS-COV-19 epide...
I work in the medical industry.
Some of this is over the top IMHO. Wash hands frequently. Wear mask. Social distance. When outside, if you haven’t just washed your hands, try not to touch your face. That will get you pretty far. The viability of the virus on a watch strap is highly unli...
