Charge 2 and the trouble with bands

Hi there. Well, the best thing about the charge 2 (OK, it's not actually the BEST thing, but it's a nice thing) is that you can change the bands. That's good because that band gave me a rash. So, I bought a stainless steel band that looks like a watch band. Turns out stainless steel has nickel in it and my skin reacts to that too. I found a nylon woven band (think macrame) that is easy on my skin, but too colorful and hard to put on and take off.
Does anyone else have sensitive skin and suggestions?

No suggestions, just glad to know I'm not the only one with a rash from this band!!0

I got one of the Fitbit sport bands which seems to have significantly reduced the rashes I was getting on my wrist. Because I was getting them too, but it seems like they've gone away since I've had this sport band.0

I got a sport silicone band on amazon. So far so good. It's more flexible and there's no buckle to deal with either.

Amazon has a LOT of options, honestly. I hope you find something that works.0 -
I have a stainless steel one Link for nicer occasions and just everyday wear. Most people see it and just think I have a regular watch on. Then I have a exercise band for hiking, seriously sweaty stuff aka June-September in the south. Link
For the first couple months when I just had my original band I had issues with a rash on the inside of my wrist from washing my hands or sweating with it on and just not fully drying it off.0 -
@rosey0104 I've got the same Stainless Steel one! Several colours by now, because I like them so much and keep buying them.0

Got the same rash, I think. It was just too sweat trapping no matter how loosely I wore it.0
