One morning you wake up, and there, on your sheets: tiny black pieces, similar to rubber or plastic residue. You inspect them without really understanding… until you look at your wrist. What if the answer was right there, within reach?
Why is your watch strap falling apart?
Our smartwatches and fitness trackers have become everyday companions. We wear them to work, while exercising, in the shower, and even at night. But did you know that all this loyalty comes at a cost? Over time, some wristbands—especially those made of silicone or rubber —start to gradually deteriorate .
The reason? A mixture of mechanical wear and chemical reactions. Imagine a national road traveled by hundreds of vehicles every day: even the asphalt eventually crumbles. The same goes for your bracelet, which is subjected to constant friction against your skin, clothing, or desk.
Humidity and sweat: invisible enemies
When you exercise or wear your watch all day, sweat builds up under the strap. Add to this the natural oils from your skin. This mix creates an ideal environment for weakening soft materials like silicone. As a result, the strap begins to flake, forming those tiny residues found on sheets or clothing.
Not all bracelets are created equal
