“Is the back of the watch metal or what kind of material is it? My mom is allergic to most metals so she needs a watch that is either rubber or a different material and I was wondering what the back of this watch was. Thanks!”

• The Vivosmart HR is all plastic. The only metal showing are the screws that hold the band on, but they are recessed so they shouldn't cause an issue.

• The back of the vivosmart HR does contain small amounts of metal. In order to achieve a high level of corrosion resistance, stainless steel is used on the vivosmart HR. Stainless steel alloys contain small amounts of Nickel. Although the parts comply with EU Nickel Release limit standards for metals in continuous contact with skin, people with Nickel sensitivities or allergies may still have a reaction.
