Does anyone have any experience of putting a barrier between a Versa and their skin that still allows the Versa to function?  Specifically, it seems that I have an allergy to material in my Versa (not the wristband) and I'm wondering if applying clear nail polish or a screen protector applied to the underside of the watch will stop the Versa functioning.  And if there will be any side-effects to this, e.g. charging, monitoring heart rate?

Hello @Claire56

In the heavy industry I'm in, I work around oils and solvents, we wear a barrier cream to prevent harmful liquids from entering our skin through our pours. 

It may be worth a try for you.

I placed a waterproof bandaid inside the band of the watch because of being allergic to the band. Maybe try a bandaid on the area of skin that gets irritated by the watch ,or place a thin piece of cloth ,or tissue on the area.
