Looseness in the fit of a wristwatch to the wrist of a user is taken up by affixing a thin spacer to the back of the watch. The spacer is formed from a sheet of thermoplastic material with a pressure sensitive adhesive on a surface thereof, and is affixed to the watch, after cleaning of the watch if necessary, by pressing the pressure sensitive adhesive surface of the spacer against the watch. Spacers are packaged in spaced apart multiples on a display card, with a removable transparent film covering the spacers on the display card.
A bracelet-style watch having a case, a wristband formed integral with the case, and three separating element is disclosed. The separating elements, located on the case and wristband, form a space between the timepiece and the wrist. The space permits air to freely enter a substantial portion of an area between the timepiece and the wrist, thereby ventilating and reducing the quantity of perspiration that collects between the timepiece and the wrist.
