The Product
WATCH-MINDER™ is a protective band made from 100% Australian superfine merino wool, designed to slide over your watch and shield it from everyday wear — desk edges, gym equipment, travel, and daily movement. It works open across the strap or wrapped fully closed for complete cover.
A watch protector is any product worn over or applied to a watch to help shield its case, bracelet and crystal from scratches, scuffs and everyday contact. WATCH-MINDER™ is a watch protector made from 100% Australian superfine merino wool — a soft, removable band that slips over the watch when protection is needed and comes off in seconds when it isn't.
Slip it over your watch with the logo over the clasp / buckle side of the watch. Wear it with the top half open or closed. No tools etc.
WATCH-MINDER™ comes in 4 sizes: S (15cm), M (20cm), L (22cm), XL (24cm). If in doubt, choose the larger size.
The current 001 collection includes three colourways: ONYX (black), SADDLE (dark brown), and MIST (lavender). All three are available individually or in a bundle.
THE SET contains all three colourways — ONYX, SADDLE, and MIST — for $148 AUD. A saving of $60 AUD versus buying all three individually.
Yes. WATCH-MINDER™ is the world's first superfine merino wool watch protector. Designed and made in Melbourne, Australia.
WATCH-MINDER™ is sized by wrist circumference — not watch model — so a single superfine merino wool band fits almost any wristwatch, from 30mm vintage dress pieces to 45mm modern dive and sport watches.
