Hello Michele Tampa,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with your Apple Watch band. This article goes over the ways you can clean it:How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support

"Clean and dry your Apple Watch band

Remove the band from your Apple Watch before cleaning. This cleaning information applies to Apple-branded bands only. For all other bands, follow the care information provided with the band.

For leather bands:

1. Wipe the leather portions of the bands clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water.*
2. Don’t soak leather bands in water. The leather bands aren't water resistant.
3. Let the band air dry thoroughly before you attach it to your Apple Watch. Don’t store leather bands in direct sunlight, at high temperatures, or in high humidity.

For Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop, Sport Band, Sport Loop, Ocean Band, Alpine Loop, and Trail Loop:

1. Wipe the band clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water. With these bands, you can also use mild hypoallergenic hand soap for cleaning.
2. Dry the band with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth before you attach it to your Apple Watch.

For all other bands, buckles, and closures:

1. Wipe the band clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water.
2. Dry the band with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth before you attach it to your Apple Watch.

* Leather usually takes on a patina after normal wear. The leather might also change color due to exposure to substances like perfume, insect repellent, oil, lotion, or dyed materials like denim. The Apple Watch and band colors may vary or fade over time. "

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

I'm sorry, but there isn't anything anyone can do for you here. Watch bands wear with extended use. Over the years, I've had to replace a number of watch bands as there really are very few, which don't wear out over time. Apple bands come with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects. Cosmetic issues aren't covered.

If you want a more durable, can't wear out band, buy a decent quality metal band.

You aren't speaking with Apple Support on this user to user only forum. All we can honestly suggest is to take your issue up to Apple directly.

Hey Michele Tampa,

Service or exchange options can be discussed with Apple directly. Get Support from them here.

Take care.
