Woke Up To This On Your Bed? The Truth Will Shock You!

How to Stop the Mystery of Velcro-Like Shavings from Happening Again

If you’re looking to minimize shedding and prolong the life of your smartwatch band, follow these tips:

  • Keep it Clean — Ideally rinsing with a mild soap and water helps wash away the sweat and oils that deteriorate the material.
  • Switch up the bands – Using one strap every day will wear it out. Alternating bands every now and then can help them all last longer.
  • Skip the unnecessary friction – Consider how many times your wrist is resting on a surface or how snug your sleeves are over your watch.
  • Buy a better replacement — Some products are just more durable than others. If you do need a new band, pick one made to last.

The Bottom Line

These tiny shavings are Velcro-like, and can seem odd at first, but they are just a normal byproduct of wearing a smartwatch or fitness tracker every day. If you begin noticing them more frequently, examine your band for wear and tear. Solving the mystery of the Velcro-like shavings is an easy task. Swapping it out at the best interval keeps it fresh and your wrist happy.
