Does the fitbit wristband have any metal touching the skin? I am very allergic to metal on my skin.

Just the two little knobs that fit into the perforations to keep fasten it. However, you can order plastic replacements.

Yes, there are two small pieces of metal that touch the skin on the inside of the wrist. If it helps, my daughter also has a problem with metal, and she just paints the metal with fingernail polish and doesn't feel the effects. The metal pieces are so small, (and don't show) that it would be easy to paint over it with no problem. Hope this helps!

The clasp is metal. It is a metal piece with 2 prongs that go into the strap slots. Those 2 prongs will touch the skin.

if any it would be very minute. the "clip" has two prongs that come through the clasp, I can't be 100% sure they don't touch your skin.

Yes, there is a metal piece that is the closure of the band and it does touch the inside of your wrist.

It is ONLY replacements for the little plastic clasp. My friend & I each got a fitbit flex. i can wear the smaller band & she wears the larger band. I got these clasps so I don't have to switch the clasp out every time I change band color. The clasps are very nice. Nicer than the original one.

Yes. Just remove the fitbit from the band and charge it. There's no way to charge any fitbit inside any wristband. It's easy to insert right back into the band once charged.

No. And don't wash your hands while wearing it, either. From their website FAQ: "The Withings Pulse is not meant to be worn while swimming and as it is not waterproof it is not meant to be worn while taking a shower either. When exercising, we recommend that you place your Withings Pulse into the provided Belt Clip to avoid direct contact with the sweat for a prolonged period of time...Please note that any physical or liquid damage will void the warranty." Mine went dead after about two months, and because I hadn't read the small print, I didn't know this. I wore it on my wrist for endurance running (lots of sweat) and didn't remove it when I washed my hands throughout the day (activity tracking). When it stopped working and I tried to get it replaced, they made sure I knew that they would be able to tell whether it was ever wet and if so my warranty would be voided.

Does not say on box. Assume some sort of surgical steel. Mostly nickel free as I did not have difficulty wearing pieces for several hours and have significant reactions generally.

I wear the trion bracelets with the two circles next to my skin. Works great for me. Good luck.

Hi! Our bands have been tested here in the US and found to contain no lead or Phthalates. We are one of the only brands to have done this testing. There is a certificate on our product page that shows these results.

I actually didn't buy the bands. I bought the package of little metal clasps by WoCase, for the wristbands. I can tell you that those clasps work just fine with the Fitbit bands. I like the many colors. I'd love to order the colored bands, but the colors I want are only offered in size Large. I need the Small.

So, I purchased these bands for my children, 4 & 6. The band's are elastic so they do stretch and fit well for average size child. But the concept of this band is acupuncture. It has a plastic dot on the inner lining of the band. The dot is made to press firmly against the skin to apply pressure to the inner wrist. Hence allowing to ease and overcome the feeling of motion sickness an nausea. Now, needless to say at days in the band left a mark on the wrist of the children but not bruises. And no one got sick! I hope this helped to answer your question.

They make more feminine colored bands and even the black one isn't that obtrusive. If you don't want to wear anything on your wrist I would definitely look at the FitBit One where you can place it on undergarments under your clothes. Im pretty sure the flex has to be placed on your arm just because it is calibrated for arm movement only.

I've worn mine while working on my laptop and smartphone and had no trouble other than the typical bracelet being pushed into my arm when in contact with the laptop. I've never had a problem with the magnets affecting the computer systems.

Not that I've noticed but I usually wear dark clothes or spray on my arms neck and garden boots. It does serm to work well because I am a tick magnet. I had 8 bites in 2 weeks , now none.

You could, but probably shouldn't...I've been wearing it almost all day every day first week I bought it. Even at night sometimes. It was quiet interesting experiment to see how different activities affect heart rate (my heart rate drops below 60 when working with computers and steady 65 at night)By the 8th day I've noticed redness on my skin where the rubber contacts were touching and then it started itching. It makes sense: the skins doesn't breath there and strap traps salt from sweat.So now I cut down on wearing it only when I work out.

Wearing them too tight? I purchased this replacement for the color. All of my bands have yet to break and I've had my Fitbit over a year +. I don't shower with mine and only get it wet to clean it. Being that's it rubbery, I doubt water plays a part, however.

I cannot answer the question because the band (along with my Fitbit) fell off my wrist the first day I had it in this replacement band. I lost both the band and the Fitbit. I would not recommend buying these replacement bands. When you buy your fitbit, you will get both size bands (at least that's what came with mine) and then you can determine which size band works best for you. I used the small band.

The only way I can answer this question is to say, that rare earth magnets are made from either samarium-cobalt or neodymium iron boron. If our concern is stems from an allergy or cancer treatment. Remember that these have been coated with gold which dose help with those two conditions. However I do not know if the gold was treated with nickel. I have had no rash myself and my skin dose not like nickel. I have learned from other over the last 28 years of using magnets that you can put a piece of paper tape on your skin then place a magnet over it. They still work this way.
