    Hi Carrie

     

    Apple Watch (ie the stainless steel models), the Space Gray and Rose Gold Aluminium Apple Watch Sport, the stainless steel portions of some Apple Watch bands, and the magnets in the watch and bands contain some nickel (all below the restrictions set by European regulation).

    JJonathan,

    thanks for the reply. However I think you may have missed my point. I had read the item you referred to prior to posting question. I am trying to find out if any of the watch models are nickel free on skin contact areas and if so what models.  The item did not make this point clear

    The Apple Watch Edition models with matching bands that have gold are nickel-free.
