Yep. I owned the exact same model and had the exact same problem—leaving blue marks on my wrist. Once I cleaned it, I couldn’t get it to stop it from happening over and over again. (This is part of the reason why I eventually sold it.)
Best option I’ve found is to never clean the inside of the bracelet or just switch to a strap.
I really like Roue’s designs, especially the TPS chronos. They are quartz and well within your budget.
