Abstract
A watchband designed to reduce or eliminate perspiration typically experienced by a wearer between the watchband and the wearer's wrist by providing an interchangeable and replaceable watchband liner. The construction of the watchband provides for a skin-contacting surface in the form of the liner formed from a technical fabric, such as a 3-D spacer mesh material. The liner removes the leather or rubber watchband from direct contact with the wearer's skin thereby allowing the area of the wrist to breathe better. The liner of the watchband provides moisture-wicking properties and furthermore removes direct contact between the watchband and the watchband fastener. The liner used in conjunction with the watchband additionally provides the user with a “cushion comfort” effect.
