Currently the straps are of the highest quality stainless steel.

Technically speaking; Electrolysis is the science which alters the state of metals via electrical current and moisture.

Corrosion is an unavoidable eventuality and occurs on all metal types except the precious metals: Platinum, Silver and Gold.

Straps will corrode for the reasons below:

If using conductive gel or any water on the skin and we do not suggest using gel or water, the electrolysis of positive and ground can accelerate corrosion of even stainless steel.

You can clean any discoloration on the button using dishwashing liquid and the green kitchen scourer pad.

The Problem is caused by electrolysis: Positive + Negative charge + moisture Note that only “1” electrode corrodes, not both, unless you physically swap the straps around, then the corrosion will occur only ever on one strap. The side which corrodes is the positive, which is the point where the electrolysis process is occurring.

This happens with people who sweat (water + electrolytes (sweat + Sodium/Potassium salts). The problem is also the Stainless Steel. The higher quality Stainless Steel takes longer to corrode, however electrolysis will occur eventually on the best Stainless Steel.
