  I have a Tag watch with a stainless steel strap. Lately when sweating I am getting black marks off it on my wrist off the strap.
  
  What's the best way to clean the strap and between all the links without causing any damage to it.

  A softish toothbrush and soap and water, it how I do mine.

  Yep - soap, water and nailbrush. Actually, I just do it while I'm in the shower. You'll be amazed at the gunk that comes out.

  I always clean my watch strap with "Ultrasolve", which is manufactured by Electrolube. The spray removes every trace of dirt, in effect, it dry cleans it!
  
  You might find it difficult to purchase Ultrasolve unless you are familiar with the electronics service industry, but Maplins sell something similar:
