The first watch I owned was pretty typical.  It was a cheap little digital thing with a belt-like band.  At the time, my tiny little wrists were too small even for the tightest setting.  So I was forced to punch a new hole in the watch band to make it fit.  Later on when I got other watches, they were always either too big or too small.  They never fit perfectly because of the spacing of the holes on the band.  Later on I got a watch with a metal band.  I knew this was a bad idea before I even bought it.  It pulled out my arm hair and left me permanently scarred (mentally). 

And then I stepped into watch band zen:  Velcro!  Velcro always fits, no questions asked.  When my wrists swell in the summer, it fits.  When they shrink in the winter, it fits.  A Velcro watch band can't not fit.  Although Velcro doesn't give me points in the "cool" category, I don't have many points to begin with. 

Velcro should really be used for belts too.  I have the same problem there. #products
