what kind of watch do you wear?

Published

i have been having alot of trouble finding a watch that can handle the rigors of being washed alot and also some of the plastic bands make me break out. i have to wear hydrocortisone creme with a bandaid under my watch or i have welts by the end of the day. i have a couple of nurse mates watches but the plastic bands make me break out. what kind of watch do you wear?

I ordered the Cyber Gel Watch http://www.jascouniform.com/ecom/showdetl.cfm?Product_ID=14497pt1000&code=71&srccd=pt1000

the face is really big though, I have small wrists. I almost need a childrens watch. Any suggestions on something else?

As I was shopping for a watch, I ended up finding a cute nurse Minnie Mouse watch at Wal-Mart! It has a thin, white, synthetic leather band, and on the end of the second hand, there is a heart. :)

I bought this watch too at WalMart. I found they also have it at Kohls. I fell in love when I saw it just b/c I absolutely love Mickey and Minnie and the fact that she was dressed as a nurse was cute... But there's no way I could wear that watch outside of clinical. It ticks too loudly for me.

My thoughts exactly! I am a big Disney fan. Thus, the watch was a perfect fit. :D

I have always had a timex with the date and leather black band. I also break out if I wear anything but gold. the leather does not make me breakout. For a few years I had a mudd charm watch but the batteries last only a few months so I went back to the timex.

that's a good question, though practically, a nurse should wear water resistant watches which are automatic ones (which does not require change of batteries every afte 1-2 years) which incluedes the date (Month/day/year/day of the week). the numbers and hands on the watch should be visible as well. mine is timex! its a good choice!

A cheap 10 dollar one from Wal Mart. Plastic with soft edges so I don't give anyone skin tears. At first it was because I figured that if I got it nasty filthy I could just toss it and get a new one... but they last YEARS and I've yet to shove my hand that far up someone's bum without a glove lol

I don't remember the brand of mine... but I got it for $14 at Walmart. If it breaks or something, it's cheap enough to not have it be a big deal. I'd just get another cheap one, lol.
