Will the Apple Watch give you an allergy? It can, if you are allergic to nickel and methacrylates

apple watch reviews

It is not the first time that a supplement that is in contact with our skin can cause us certain skin problems. This is due to many reasons, although the main and most common are related to allergies to certain materials like Nickel.

In the case of the Apple Watch, allergic reactions can also occur since certain parts of the clock have this element from the periodic table. In addition to the watch case, some bracelets and their magnets contain Nickel, although always within the restrictions set by European Law, something that does not prevent there are specific cases in which there are too many people who are susceptible to being in contact with this material.

Apple also warns that some adhesives used to make the watch may contain traces of methacrylates, another product that can cause allergic reactions or provoke them with prolonged exposure. In this case, the apple company ensures that the design of the Apple Watch and its straps have taken this problem into account and, therefore, they have ensured that the methacrylates are not in direct contact with our skin.

If on any occasion we have worn a bracelet or watch and our skin has begun to redden or itch, it is a clear symptom of this type of allergic reaction. In this situation, it is best take off the product as soon as possible and go to a dermatologist to do the relevant tests.

Not long ago, Fitbit was forced to recall some of its bracelets for causing severe irritation to the skin of users. If Apple complies with the regulations as claimed, it will not be forced to make this decision but if we are allergic, perhaps we can replace the problem material with another by changing the bracelet or, if it is not serious, limit the use of Apple Watch for a specified number of hours.

    go bullshit post, they are already wanting to fill to fill, it will be due to allergies!
    If you are allergic to it depends on which components of the plastic you cannot get into the car or take a shopping bag,
    Most electronic components have allergenic components, and no one has thrown a pc out the window.
    there are even allergies to water and the sun.

    Every so often I have a mild allergic reaction in the skin sector in contact with the watch. Then I change it to the right wrist until the redness subsides and I allow about another month to pass to return it to the left
