Hello there, Does anyone have any recommendations for a watch strap suitable for very sensitive skin? I also have very small wrists. Many thanks.

Sensitive to what type of material? It is really up to your preference on what style and material it is made of. I developed some rashes when I was using the original silicone band( flouroelastometer as Apple calls it). Now I am using third party milanese loop (GEOTEL) and stainless steel (iiteeology) bands which I bought from Amazon. So far so good and way cheaper than the original.
Find bands that will allow your skin to breathe and/or absorb any type of perspiration.
Stay away from solid silicone bands.
Look at braided stretch bands, leather bands, stainless steel bands that have some some skin breathe-ability by having spaces/openings in the metal band.
Many people have some skin reaction to silicone against their skin.
So, stay away from silicone based bands if you have a mild or severe skin reactions to silicone.
Thank you. My skin can be allergic to so many different things - and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Was just wondering if others with similar sensitivities had tried something which worked (or didn’t).
Thank you so much Michel. This is really helpful.
I am not new to silicone bands since I've been using Swatch watches before and it was the first time that I developed such. Anyway, I hope you find the right one.
Thank you!
