Tom Tom strap and itchy wrist

Does anyone know whether I can get a non silicon strap for a TomTom Spark Cardio 3? The strap is causing my wrist to itch and become sore. I wash the band at least once a day, and always after running. I've plastered my wrist in talc to try to create a barrier, but it's not entirely effective.

I can't offer advice on the strap. I have a load of them off of amazon for my Garmon fenix 5 at 7 quid a pop in different colours but they are probably all silicon.. Have you considered wearing a sweat band under it?

Thanks, I'll see if I can get a thin one, so the heart rate monitor still registers.

I was going to say, wear it over a sleeve..or carry the watch in a pocket or pouch.. but that may affect the HRM..

Yes, the HRM is the issue, will try a think sweat band under it and see if it still works.
