Wristwatch

Skill Magill

Any of you guys wear them on the bike?
If I drive my bike for more than 3/4 of an hour and forget to move the body of the watch to the underside of my wrist, it digs in something woeful, forcing me to pull in and slide it around. I wear thick leather gloves, and the movement of the wrist pulling the clutch(on the bike) really digs it in. I can't wear a diver riding the bike, even on the underside of the wrist.
I've thin wrists and was thinking of a really flat(thin), curved watch body with a fabric band. Any digitals you might recommend?
€50 max
cheers

I attached a pic of my watch in my glove. I never have any issues with it even with my wrist at an awkward angle.

Maybe my gloves are just very loose at the wrist.

Never noticed any problems myself, and I wear my watch on the right wrist. Maybe try switching your watch to the other wrist and see how it feels?

Don't like wearing watches on bikes. Don't ask me why, I like watches but on a bike with the vibration and gloves and jackets its a pain.
Fit one of these to the dash, or use your dashboard as a clock?

Yea, with the gloves I have knox there's a screw down tightener that secures it to the wrist so it wont slip off when you hit the ground. I like to keep it tight and so the watch digs in. A reall slim watch might fit the bill.

Yea cheers man. I have a clock on dash as it stands, its not so much the telling of the time thats the problem, but rather the watch digging into the wrist, to the extent that its uncomfortable. I had to pull in over the weekend to move it around, haha first world problems eh?

Those gloves remind me of these

I always wear a watch and have never had any issues with it being uncomfortable.

You're most likely wearing the gloves too tight where the watch is sitting. Losen the watch so it can sit higher on your arm, above where the glove is secured

I like thick cut watches and both of mine are a fat bezel. With leathers the cuff is narrow and if you wear an armoured glove the gauntlet is usually tight so it cuts you.

Leather closed cuff gloves and a watch = pain... I lost my watch so I've nothing to complain about
