No matter where I position my watch, or how long I leave it to heal this always happens to my skin. I’ve tried leather bands, silicone, just normal rubber and nothing helps. Any advice or suggestions for sensitive skin bands?

Ever wash your watch and watch bands?

I wash them quite frequently

I would say use the nylon sport loop

In the worst case go see a doctor to find out what you are actually allergic to as that might make making a choice between bands a lot easier

Have you tried a nylon woven strap on your wrist as I had the same problem with a watch strap and bought a Apple Nike strap nylon woven strap and it cured it up in a couple of days and I haven't had the problem again and I wash it the same time as I go in the shower/bath and it's dry within a hour and it doesn't leave any matks on you at all

I’ll have to try this!

You have to wear it tighter

Really? I hear the opposite, but at this point I’m willing to try

I wear it to were I feel the back of the watch is in my arm and just tight enough so it doesn't flap up and down my arm and lifts off and doesn't move when you wear clothing on top of it like a coat and you tend to pull it off as one so that is tightness I use and I didn't have the chance to move it from where it was when I bought it as it's in the same spot but for others it will be different
