A lot of nurses wear the expansion bands because you can get the band wet and soapy and slide it up your arm to wash your hands.

Women's watches are really cheap right now--apparently the resale values are very low, as in non-existent, so it might be worth a try. I like the Swiss ones that are less popular names. I am a huge fan of Tissot, and this new Pesag is cool, and Bucherer is a cool less known brand.

I have a self-winding Bucherer that works but I never wear. I wore it for years but it costs more to have it cleaned each year than to wear a watch with a battery.

Nice surprise for you Tybee!
