Nickel in all bands?

[SunsetRunner]

Hi there everyone.

Like many other I also suffer from an itchy wrist due to the nickel in my bellowed Fitbit Charge 2 Band.

Does the official silicone wristband or the leather band also have nickel in the clasp?

Best regards

@SunsetRunner, it uses a stainless steel buckle like the other bands, and all stainless steel contains some nickel.  So, if the original band causes a nickel allergy, the leather band will as well.  From the Fitbit specs:

"The Charge 2 tracker and buckle are made with surgical-grade stainless steel."

Thank you for the reply!

Some "surgical" stainless steels contain nickel.  One of these is SAE 316, which is the most common stainless steel used in fitness tracker bands.
