10 Best Nurse Fob Watches Review

Most of us wear a watch to tell time, but for medical practitioners, especially nurses, a watch does more for them than tell time. They serve multiple purposes that it has become as essential to them as their scrubs or stethoscopes. It is a must-have tool for them to carry out their daily work-related activities.

Fob watches (also known as medical watches) became the norm for nurses because it is more hygienic than wristwatches. Most hospitals have the “bare below the elbow” rule that prohibits their medical staff to wear jewelry below the elbow. And since time-telling is important to them, a fob watch is the perfect alternative to wristwatches as it does not touch any surface to pick up bacteria or virus.

A fob watch is clipped to the lapel of a nurse’s uniform and worn upside down so the nurse can easily tell time without picking it up. Read on as we list the best nurse fob watches we found on the market today.
