Tried leather band also but irritation is caused not just by band but also rear of watch. Have tried everything- not wearing band until all irritation gone for few weeks then tried again. Wore on both wrists, used dermatological cream under it. Not worn it at night. Also various combinations of all the following approaches. Nothing has worked and I would like a solution or my money back please. I have tried to work out a way to avoid the skin irritation for over a year and am very over it. Thanks
