I'm NEVER allergic! ...'til now
0I recently bought an inexpensive “smart watch” from from a certain daily deal website that rhymes with “eh.” It came with 2 watchbands, a attractive tan “vegan leather” one, and a black rubber one. The watch is pretty good especially considering the favorable price point.
I wore it for probably three days especially interested in the sleep monitoring function. The first night it didn’t record any sleep, the second night just 3 or 4 hours. The third night I kind of cinched it up snugly and it again, didn’t catch my sleep cycle.
I still like the the reading texts and messages on the watch tho…but I took the watch off for a breather.
It’s been about 3 days and my wrist is still showing a rash from the vegan leather band.


I’ve never had an allergic reaction before in my life! I wish to turn this particular medical question over to the citizenry of the meh forum however.
What do I do for this?

I had this happen when I wore a watch for several days and nights. Maybe you just have sensitive skin. Let it heal up and alternate wrists day/night? Or get a better band.
@sammydog01 Yeah, the 72 hour marathon didn’t do me much good, I’m sure. I switched the band for the black rubber one provided and am wearing it on my left wrist now.
Thanks for the tips!
