I'm highly allergic to nickel and so can't wear just any watch.  One of the reasons I liked this Timex (other than the color ... I love greens) was that the band is a pull-thru so the back of the dial is resting on the fabric band, not my arm.  The closure and parts of the watch that do touch my skin are coated with something that doesn't have any adverse effect on my skin!  I'm thrilled.

The price, style and especially the lack of allergic reaction are making me VERY happy ....
