and I don't think it's the metal casing. It's all around my wrist. If it was the metal casing, I'd only itch directly beneath the watch face.

I try varying tightnesses from slightly loose to snug.

It has a rubber strap. Canvas and nylon ones do it to me too.

IDK but sunglasses do that to my nose. Very helpful, I'm sure. Do other restrictive things bother you? Like turtlenecks, etc.?

Probably a combo of the synthetic material and perspiration underneath the watchbands. Try leather or metal bands instead

Do you have sensitive skin? Because I have the same problem.

don't know if it's sensitive or not. I think I like the theory about something touching you that you're not used to. Had a hell of a time getting used to my wedding ring.

Yup, methinks you're on to something.
