Who told you that you can't get it wet?

It's still a 30m water resistant watch, not enough to really go swimming in any meaningful way, but you can certainly clean it with a gentle soap and water.

What kind of soup do you use? I find that a light broth soup works better than a cream-based soup. Don't get it too hot, and watch out for the noodles.

Seriously, the navitimer is water resistant. Just don't get crazy with the brush around the buttons and stem or use high pressure. Besides, really, most of the dirt and oils from you are on the bracelet rather than the head of the watch. That's where you should concentrate the cleaning on, the bracelet, and it won't mind water at all. Unless it's leather...

I don't think cleaning it simply with soap and water under a tap (soft stream) is going to be an issue..
