serious watch tan

i have this really pale stripe around my left wrist. which is ok i guess but i am trying to keep my wrist from becoming more imbalanced. im starting to look like a national flag.

so i am now trying to put watches on my right wrist. and it feels kind of funny with the weight and the foreign object.

but i am left handed can see the relief it brings. but even my typing is getting messed up.

i suppose this could help me be more ambidextrous.

any tips from the lefties on how to wear it well both left and right?

Wear your watch on the same wrist all the time and no one will notice the pale stripe.

Ive had the same problem and an easy solution is to go to a tanning bed but only put the tanning oil on the white band about 3 trips and it is caught up to the rest for me.

Wear sunscreen on your arms everyday and you won't get that pale stripe!

I felt so naked when I took of my watch at the AD a few weeks ago.

It was almost like everyone was looking at me, and my faded wrist line.

Like an addict, as soon as I tried on my new watch, I concealed the pale, pasty white stripe to make sure it looked good. You know it's not sized correctly if you see white flesh.
