Why am I allergic to my watch?!
Question:
Why am I allergic to my watch?
I got a beautiful watch from my guy for Christmas. I've worn it every day, but I do take it off for sleeping at night and showers. Suddenly I am getting a rash under the band (after 6 months). I've had the rash before, I know that it is an allergic reaction to the metal in the bracelet, but why now? Why wasn't I allergic right away?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it stop (I don't really want to put a different band on it if I don't have to).
Answers:
you probably have high acid in your skin. after a while, especially with lesser expensive watches, the acid begins to eat away the enamel and also the metal of the back of the watch causing the abrasive metal to rub on your skin. I have the same problem. Seiko is the least expensive watch i can wear without this being a problem, because of the quality of the watch.
