Promotech Clinical Stainless Steel Nurse, Doctor Brooch Tunic Fob Breast Watch

Fob watches, also called nursing watches or belt watches, are a kind of timepiece with a clip that holds it in place to hang upside-down from a uniform. Most nurses and others in healthcare consider nurse fob watches a requirement, as they are a vital tool for timekeeping on the job.



You may be wondering why nurses don’t wear normal wrist watches, the main reason is of course hygiene.

As wristwatches are so close to your hands, it is easier for bacteria and viruses to be picked up and passed on. Fob watches avoid this as they don’t come into contact anything but the shirt they are clipped to. The watch also doesn’t need to be handled to tell the time which is the main reason the dial is upside down. Historically, the fob watches was an essential part of a nurses uniform however today it is optional.

For those that know a nurse without a watch or perhaps a nurse in training that you want to buy a gift for then we stock a selection of fob watches ideal for nurses. The beauty of wearing a watch to work is not only for apt timekeeping but also helps to bring a sense of individuality to a nurses uniform.Description:
