I did not wear the guilty watch for a couple of weeks and now I am wearing it daily with no problem. There was a recent thread about this in the general Watchrap area not too long ago. One thing you may want to consider is a change in diet? As previously stated, if the strap only recently started bothering you, it could be something as small as that. Well, do your testing and see how it goes. Hopefully it is not a serious issue and won't recur.
