Question from petercsantoro@yahoo.com
I would like to buy a new watch for my husband. I don’t think he will wear the “Eco-friendly” watch which I found when researching your site for “watches.” However, I would prefer to get a watch that is less toxic/ harmful if that is possible…is there a better choice between a watch with a leather strap or a stainless steel band? Do you have any suggestions/recommendations? I like the Eco-friendly watch for myself! Thanks so much!

Personally, I don’t wear watches as I wasn’t able to find a strap that was comfortable on my wrist. I was OK with leather, but not the nickel in the buckle, which gave me a rash. Stainless steel produced sweat under the band.
I carry my cell phone in my purse and check the time when I need to. Having a general sense of time is sufficient for me. I’m not running from appointment to appointment all day.
Also, you might want to consider a pocketwatch if your husband isn’t carrying a cell phone.
Readers, what do you recommend?
