Any solution to continue wearing Apple Watch SE despite nickel allergy?

Not mentioned above. Nickel in the back crystal of the watch. Bands Yes, but look at the picture above. The skin reaction is from the crystal back of the watch. Not "Watch bands, the metallic portions" as stated in the attachment above. Work around, kitchen cling film.

I had the same reaction, I used kitchen cling film. It worked. Apple does not state that the watch backs contain Nickel though.

Honestly ….as much as you want to keep wearing it you really shouldn’t if you are having a reaction. See your dermatologist and go from there. As far as a solution so you can keep wearing it….you will have to search for hacks people tried but there is no official fix. You may need to try the titanium option versus the aluminum or stainless steel

Don't wear Nickel. I have a metal allergy and can only wear Titanium or Stainless Steel; that includes glasses so I have a very limited choice when I need new frames. Whatever I shop for, I tell the salesperson immediately so they can concentrate on showing me things that will not irritate my skin.

I'm sorry but if I had an allergy to something I would stop using it. Consult with a medical professional about your allergy.

It mentions several areas including the release buttons (which could have contact with the skin), the casing which may have contact with the skin, the magnets (which would be the circular part of the back of the watch). So yes…while it doesn’t say the words “watch back” it does clearly mention areas that are part of the watch back (the entire back is not crystal alone). Point is, Apple does disclose nickel being in areas that do count as part of the watch back. You stated that they do not state it at all which isn’t accurate. The part you quoted was only a small portion and was from 2 different mentions (You quoted “Watch bands, the metallic portions” when the entirety of that area you took the quote from says “…the stainless steel portions of some Apple Watch bands, the metallic portions of the Hermès bands…” with other areas mentioned before and after that).

Like I said, the point is that Apple does indeed state that nickel is used in areas that are part of the watch back.

"On average 12% to 15% of women and 1% to 2% of men are allergic to nickel." That is alot of people or shall I say women"
