Slim (and cheap)watch for motorbike

Skill Magill · 20-05-2014 09:12PM #1

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?
And by cheap I mean €50 is a max not a target!

Hmmm nothing springs to mind. The fashion for big and bulky doesn't help. A smaller casio maybe and swap out the rubber strap for a cloth? Or a secondhand G-shock with a Nato strap on the outside of the gloves and rock it 1920's fighter pilot styllee.

Boards brought in a new thing to stop spammers and the like which means if you've under 50 posts you can't post links. Pain in the bum for regular folks, but it has cut down on the guff a lot.

But anyway here's a link http://store.swatch.com/watches/skin.html

The font doesn't look 100% correct; that could be a fake.
