Does this Fitbit contain nickel? null

Question

GCharlotte · Accepted Answer

We don't know about the Charge 3 but it's likely to be similar to the Charge 2 which Fitbit says:

"The buckle and frame on Charge 2 are made of surgical-grade stainless steel. While all stainless steel contains traces of nickel and can cause an allergic reaction in someone with nickel sensitivity, the amount of nickel in all Fitbit products meets the European Union's stringent Nickel Directive."

I have a nickel sensitivity and have to be careful what touches my skin including belt buckles, necklaces and anything with pewter. I wear the Charge 2 nearly 24 hours per day and have no problem. But others have reported sensitivity. Probably worth trying and returning if it doesn't work out. Other customers have mitigated the situation by using sport tape or moleskin. I think the vast majority of people are OK with it.

My fb2 does not give me issues, but if it did I would coat the metal with clear nail polish like I do all other buttons on jeans & jewelry. It takes longer to wear off than tape or moleskin.

I have a nickel sensitivity. I have worn the Fitbit for 2 years now and have just recently began to see a rash on my wrist. I will also say that I have slacked off on cleaning it with alcohol daily.

Not sure if different models use different materials for the buckle, but I believe that the buckle on the Garmin Vivosmart 4 has nickel in it, as I get very itchy little hives anywhere that it is touching.
