Wrist watch or a fob watch?

Published

What do you wear at work?

A. Wristwatch?

B. Apple watch?

C. Pin on Fob watch?

I travel a lot and in Europe and Australia I see that nurses and doctors cannot wear anything below the elbow - is this the same for you?

Just curious...

Thank you

I used to wear a wrist watch until it died. Then I realized I never used it, so I don't wear anything on my wrist anymore. Apple watches and fitbits are pretty common on my unit though.

C. Fobwatch

I have mine set-up so it is attached to my name tag but doesn't obstruct view of my pic and name/ credentials. I had trouble with dermatitis under my watchband in the past, no issues now. So much easier for handwashing. Took a little time to get used to it, but I will never go back to a wristwatch.

When i needed a watch, i used a fob . Felt it was cleaner, what with all the body fluids and hand washing...
