Apple Watch with no Nickel?

I’m allergic to nickel, so I’m looking for a watch/band which will have no nickel in contact with my skin. I think I’ve found a combo which may work and am submitting it for comments (either if anyone can confirm, or if someone knows otherwise).


Apple Watch Edition - White Ceramic Case with Soft White/Pebble Sport Band - Apple

(Or grey ceramic. Throw away the sport band and use the sport loop below instead.)


38mm Pink Sand Sport Loop - Apple

(Or any other color sport loop. Not the sport bands because they have the magnet.)


This is an expensive combo ($1299 + $49 = $1348), so I’d be really happy if anyone knows of another combo which is nickel free.


By the way, please don’t provide me a link to this page on Apple Support. Wearing your Apple Watch - Apple Support. I searched and found lots of questions which all have that page as an answer, and it’s a little too cryptic. I used that in forming my guess above, but I feel too uncomfortable about whether my answer is correct or whether I’ve missed some acceptable (cheaper) combos. Ideally it would be great if Apple lists acceptable combos somewhere.

Thanks Judy, this is very helpful to know.


If there are other users out there who have severe nickel allergies and have tried wearing the watches, I hope you can reply with your experiences (good or bad) - and how long you’ve been wearing it.


With jewelry, sometimes it was fine right after I bought it, but over time I would get a reaction. (Now I just don’t buy anything with any nickel at all.). That’s part of why I’m worried about buying, since I could pass the return period and then have a problem. It’s very helpful to know you’ve worn it for 2 years.
