Using your Shinola leather watch strap is easy. First, use the quick - release spring bars to attach it to your compatible watch. Make sure it's securely fastened. When it comes to daily use, avoid getting the strap wet as much as possible. If it does get wet, dry it gently with a soft cloth. To keep it looking great, clean it regularly with a leather cleaner. Don't expose it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may cause the leather to fade. And always store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
