PSA Don’t Shower With Your Watch
I committed a foul today, I showered with my watch on. The result of such action was a chalky residue in between the folds and rivet impressions on the band. Looks like soap and possibly hard water were the culprit.
The solution was a run in the ultrasonic machine and a good scrubbing with Dawn dish soap. The lesson, take the extra 15 - 20 seconds and take off your watch before you shower.

If it takes you 15 seconds to take off your watch you got bigger problems 🤣
Might need to call the fire department to cut it off.
Rinse longer... 😉
I wore watches while showering over the course of many years and never had that issue.
Too much bubble bath soap does that.... just sayin
Its a G-shock, it looks sexy when dirty 😄
Hold up, was this disassembled before ultrasonic cleaning? I'm honestly not sure if showering or ultrasound is more likely to induce water penetration.
I have a shower clock. No idea how much it cost as it came from a flea market used. It has that basic universal AA battery quartz movement except with sweep second hand for the win.

The shroud from the watch case and module.
