Allergy Concerns
Pebble smartwatches are designed with maximum comfort and usability in mind, but use and individual characteristics can cause some discomfort. Please keep the following in mind:
-
Wearing the strap too tightly may cause rash/discomfort
-
Wearing the watch in the same spot for too long can lead to a rash/discomfort. We recommend moving the watch’s location on your wrist periodically to let your skin breathe.
Additionally, if you have any allergies please check the materials used in each watch type before purchasing or using:
