Silicone wristbands for allergic people

It would be great if your smart watches were made with silicone or 3D printed face options as well as the aluminum because there is a subset of the population, like myself, that is highly allergic to all metals and therefore cannot upgrade from current devices like the Inspire HR because these options do not exist.

Thanks! It's not the wrist bands I'm talking about but the watch facings and backings themselves. Those are the real problems. Wristbands are easily changed out but the watch facings being made of metal materials can't be changed and are major causes of allergic reactions to people like me
