I was convinced Titanium was hypoallergenic? Like the only metal to wear if you are one of the slim few that can't wear silver or even gold!?

I always thought Ti was good in that respect too

So did I, but it seems that a small number of people are. It's just my luck... I also have another condition (wolf parkinson white syndrome) that is very rare... Why can't I be one of the small number of people who win the damn lottery instead? Lol.

I got a titanium watch for that reason & can't wear that either because my wrist just swells up, goes red & scabs up when I wear a watch for any length of time, whether it's silicone,.gold, silver, stainless steel etc... I didn't realise it could be a proper ' condition' rather than just localised dermititis. I can wear all of those things elsewhere just not as a watch : huh:

Hmmmm, not sure about that. I can wear steel, silicon, whatever else watches without any issue. I never bought the titanium version for it's hypoallergenic properties, I just liked the fact that it was lighter, but now I can only wear it for a day or so before my skin goes blotchy and itchy. My other watches are still fine.

I don't like Ti watches for that reason, hate light watches

In the hand it does feel worryingly cheap, but one the wrist you barely notice it's there
