Here I got a email from a buyer:
(I recently bought a watch from you and my wrist is turning green. Why is that happening? What can I do to stop it? What does it mean when it changes colors?)
I am not a watch expert..What can I do and how can I reply this email
Thank you(~_~)

This is a chemical (allergic) reaction from the metal. There is nothing she can do except not wear certain types of metals. It is not because of the watch - it's how her skin reacts.

There is a product that can be brushed onto the underside of the watchband that could help avoid this. Clear nailpolish may also work.

Yep, allergic reaction. My finger will turn black if I wear jewelry that is 10K or under - and on some days even my 14k rings will turn my fingers black. One doctor explained that it depended on how acidic my skin was on any particular day.

If it helps your situation any, my wrist has always turned green with cheap and mid-range brands, so my husband bought me a really nice $1500 high quality watch, and guess what, my wrist STILL turns green! It is totally the person, not the quality of the watch!

Can anyone identify what this product is? My DD has a bad nickel allergy reaction to snaps on garments. If there is a product we could paint on the snaps, I'd be a happy mama! Can anyone help??
