Most higher end watches don't have Nickel in their back covers anymore. However, a good way to avoid contact with the back of the watch is to get a so called NATO strap (just google it) - they typically wrap around the back, your wrist will only touch the strap.




ps: Sorry for reviving this old thread

I've had my watch for a verrrry long time now it's very well made 316l stainless steel, no problems whatsoever, without any extra protection.

Thanks anyway

:-) I basically only mentioned it because I was looking into NATO straps (that are in right now) and read that they're the perfect solution for people who have nickle allergy.

I've always found gold or platinum watches don't cause this sort of problem
