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

Asger

@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."

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