Self How to tolerate wearing a watch

2 Upvotes

My doctor wants me to wear a watch that can monitor heart rate, but I find it unbearably uncomfortable. I’ve tried different types of straps (Velcro, stretchy) but the longest I can stand it is about an hour. It makes my arm ache from my wrist to my elbow and makes me feel nauseated/ constantly distracted by it. I just hate that I never stop feeling it. Advice or hearing from people who can relate would be great.
