Tactical Nylon Bank and sweat

I just received the black tactical nylon band for my Tactix delta and it's looking really nice!

The thing I am unsure of is how to care for it the best way. I know that nylon stuff often smell very bad when exposed to sweat over time. Like "pro" gym clothes and stuff made from nylon and other cooling materials. They often smell like hell compared to cotton or wool.

I'm using my watch a lot for activities such as running, strength training etc. and of course the watch and band gets really sweaty. With the silicon, I just showered with the watch and rinsed it with the shower soap and water. Should I tread my delta and nylon band the same way? Shower with it?

Anyone with nylon bands who can help me out here? Thanks!

I use my silicone one for any activity and the nylon one for day to day use. I can confirm that in the summer time, the nylon starts to smell pretty bad after a good sweat. Tried to wash it with numerous detergents, but it doesn't matter what you use, it will still smell bad after you sweat it. I wash my wrist at least twice a day and clean the watch and the band, but still no luck, the only time you will not have that problem is in winter.
