Allergic to newest apple watch

Can't go a day without my arm getting red and itchy with my new apple watch. I did not have this problem with my old watch. There has to be something new in the watch that wasn't there. It started happening immediately, so it cant be because it was dirty. And my old watch I wore in retail running for hours at a time, so was sweating plenty without issue. It sucks! Any ideas?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 11

Do you have more details on your old Apple Watch? And which model is your new Apple Watch?


Newer Apple Watch models may use different materials, such as nickel-containing alloys, which could trigger skin irritation, especially for those with nickel sensitivity.


Have you tried a different band? That would be a good next step to rule out one part.
