I stay away from repellents. I had a very expensive watch MELT off my wrist after I put on a 10% DEET "Off" some years ago. Any manmade materials, which a lot of us use, are quite sensitive to DEET.
More then one person on various forums has claimed this but I have yet to see any photos posted to bolster the claim.
I have a couple of old watches with one that has a broken plastic band and the other, the face is scratched up enough that it is no longer readable. Time for some testing...
