                      Can you use them for dive watches? i seem to recall a debate about whether you could or not?

                          I've seen online that the ultrasonics tend to mess up the battery. You can do the strap either by removing it, or by suspending it with the body above the water.

                              Lets see, put a precision made mechanical device full of precision fitting parts in a bath and then blast them with vibrations at a few KHz.

                              DMG / MORI SEIKI ? Turning Machines, Milling Machines, Software and Service

                              They use the ultrasonic to machine to fine finish on hard materials(ceramic et al).

                              Dont most watches have instruction books stating "protect from vibration"?

                              Starting to see a corelation?

                                  I thought that was the case, i just noticed on the advert a 'watch holder'

                                          Excellent bit of kit - I've used my Aldi one for years.



                                          Re: dive computers, I wouldn't put them in - or immerse any watch for that matter. Top tip: if you are doing small metal items put them into a glass pot (along with the water) as left on the bottom of the machine they make quite a racket.

                                          Before:



                                          After

                                                  I have cleaned my watch a few times, no issue...
                                                  What to do? I only have three bullets and there are four of motley crew...
