- You could put the watch in a pouch/purse whatever, unless you like having
- it on your wrist. (I kind of do, because otherwise I have my "ack, where
- did I lose my wa...oh" moments.)
- Make a leather wristguard that fits over it.
- Weave a fabric band, and turn the watch to the underside of your wrist,
- wher it isn't as obvious.
- Wear long sleeves.

- Hope you find something that works. Are you also allergic to sterling
- silver? You might not be allergic to gold per se, but to the copper in
- the alloy in any karat less than 24, or silver less than .999 pure.
- Try using
- something that's thickly plated with 24K and see if
- that's any good. Or try rhodium or platinum plating (both more expensive).
