Small ring for the Sense to prevent allergy

I want to start out with how much I loved my Sense. I loved the Stress Management tool, that helped me breath when I was hit with anxiety. I loved having a smart watch to have my credit card on and be able to control my Spotify from. I was also really looking forward to the Google Assistant integration.

 

But I developed an allergy to certain metals when I was a teenager, and since all of my belt buckles, necklaces, rings, inside jean button backs, all of those have had to either be .985 Sterling Steel/higher, or be covered. My favorite solution is to cover, a solid surface between the main button on the back of a pair of jeans and I am golden. This allergy is not uncommon, about 17% of women have it according to the National Library of Medicine:  <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19831422/#:~:text=The%20prevalence%20of%20metal%20allergy,metal%20al...>

 

With a history of trying to find work arounds for being able to wear the things I love and having had the sense for a couple weeks, I think I thought of a work around. But unfortunately I don't have the means to create it.

There are 4 points of magnetic connection back of the Sense to make sure that it securely connect to the charger. While a lot of the pieces that need to be (assumed) in contact with the skin are on the back.

My idea is to make a small thing ring so that all the elements that need to be in contact with the skin can be in contact, will be able to touch the skin inside the circle of the ring.  But on one side has prongs similar to the charging connector to hold the ring in place while covering the connections from direct skin contact. This way the ring can be removed when the Sense is charging, and replaced before wearing, and stay securely in place.

 

Please Please Please. Some one make this so that I can have my Sense back. I miss it!
