Hi there,

I'm wondering what suggestions are out there for apparent allergies to the silicone band. The attached photo is of a welt/burn that formed on the side of my watch where the strap is in the most contact- I also had blisters on the underside of my wrist, forming where the holes on the strap adjustment are. The same welt forms on my other wrist. Currently I'm just switching back and forth as they heal, however the reactions each time are getting worse (I've had the watch for approximately 2 months). I have a latex allergy, but didn't expect to have a reaction to the watch strap. 

 

Switching to non-waterproof material defeats the purpose of a waterproof watch in my opinion, but I'm not sure what else I can find.

 

Thank you,

 

Casey
