Will there be a nickel-free iWatch?
I really want the iWatch, but I have a nickel allergy and can only wear nickel-free metals. Does anyone know if there will be a nickel-free model?
iPhone 6, iOS 8.2
The watch is nickel-free.

Even the stainless steel models? I've always thought that stainless steel contains nickel. I could be wrong though.
The stainless steel model uses 316L stainless steel (according to current iWatch info on Apple's web site) which does contain nickel (about 10% I believe). But, the anodized aluminum sports model may be nickel free as most jewelry grade aluminum is nickel free.
You didn't ask about the stainless steel model because the answer should be obvious.
I see. Thanks for your reply. I had a feeling that stainless steel had nickel. Hopefully the aluminum doesn't. What about the 18 karat gold ones?
Are you saying that you have $10,000 US to spend on a watch????
I didn't ask about any specific model. I asked about the iWatch in general. Don't be a keyboard warrior.

Yes, you asked about the 18 karat gold model:

That model starts at $10,000 USD, hence Chris's question.
Well, you are going to have a very long wait if you want an iWatch, because there will never be any iWatch's
You will however be able to buy an Apple Watch instead!!
I was referring to my initial post, in which no I did not specify a model. Please look at the thread carefully before trying to correct someone. Also, I wasn't asking about the price of the 18 karat. I was asking if it contains nickel. Again, please read the thread carefully.
Yes, my bad. Apple Watch, not iWatch haha. Thanks. Too used to Apple's "i" in its products.

No one said you asked about the price. Please read my posts before you put words in my mouth. You specifically asked if a particular model of the Apple Watch had nickel in the post that I quoted, which was not your original post. Again, please read my posts more carefully.
No, you are wrong again. My post where I said that I did not ask about a specific model, my post that you quoted, was before I ever specified the 18 karat gold. You should read the times on the post before you get on your high horse.
Correction: My post, the post that you quoted, was in reply to Kappy's post saying "You didn't ask about the stainless steel model because the answer should be obvious" which came before I asked about the 18 karat.
Also, I know what my original post was. I wasn't referring to the one that you quoted as my original. Don't put words in my mouth. When Kappy said "You didn't ask about the stainless steel model because the answer should be obvious," I replied with "I didn't ask about any specific model. I asked about the iWatch in general," in which I was referring to my ORIGINAL post which I said "I really want the iWatch, but I have a nickel allergy and can only wear nickel-free metals. Does anyone know if there will be a nickel-free model?" Do you see me asking about gold, aluminum, or stainless steel in the ORIGINAL post? You know, the FIRST one on this thread? NO. I don't know why you are having such a hard time understanding this. Do you always come to the discussions to police around? Because really, people don't want that. They want answers.
