Is there a nickel free fitbit model that tracks my zone minutes as well as steps and calories used? My versa 3 causes a skin reaction.

The housing and buckle on Versa 3 are made of anodized aluminum. While
anodized aluminum can contain traces of nickel, which 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.
This is the only model available. The newer Versa 4 is made the same.

Hi are you saying that the versa 3 meets the European Union's stringent Nickel Directive?
I never knew that I had the allergy; I own a Versa 3 loved it for 2+ years, washed it every evening. Then in October 2022 on a hot day wambam I got the blisters and rash, I tried using tape on the back, used the face protectors, even with no holes. switched bands to all plastic. I stopped trying to find a solution and just stopped wearing it. It took 4 months to recover. I tried wearing it again, just takes 2 days for the problem to show.
BTW: I now wear a cheap Casio watch (not a tracker) with an aluminum body most every day and tried it out 24x7 for a full week no problems. My seiko dive watch is stainless steel, I wore it for a decade with no problems.
Okay the $500 question: is there Is a nickel free Fitbit?

Hello @fsaav and welcome to the Community. The Inspire 3 manual doesn't mention nickel it its specifications. I don't own one, so I can't verify what is written on the box. All Fitbits that have nickel say so on the box.
