Apple Watch materials series 6 - Does the Titanium contain Nickel?

Hi all I was wondering if the titanium series 6 is made including Nickel? I’ve looked through the speck sheet online and it only says the stainless steel and aluminium plus most bands but I just wanted to check really. I have a nickel allergy and don’t really want to take the risk and don’t want to be shelling out over £300 extra over the Aluminium watch if they both contain the same trace amounts.....

if all this makes sense, 😆

cheers all

That information is all that Apple provides, and is the best any of us here could give you. If you wish to know more, you would need to contact Apple directly. Use the Contact Support link at the top of the page here to contact them.

I put that in my post! that I had read this and so I knew that the stainless steel and aluminium had trace amounts of nickel in as well as the bands but was unsure about the titanium, I was hoping someone may know more about that.

thanks anyway though!

This is from an apple support document;

Nickel. Apple Watch models with a stainless steel or aluminium case, the stainless steel band release buttons of Apple Watch Series 4 and later and Apple Watch SE, the stainless steel portions of some Apple Watch bands, the metallic portions of the Hermès bands and the magnets in the watch and bands all contain some nickel. However, they all fall below the strict nickel restrictions set by the European REACH regulation. Therefore, while nickel exposure is unlikely to be a problem, you should be aware of the possibility in case you're susceptible to nickel-related reactions.
