Watch 6 allergy

[JaquelineRS]

I have a pretty bad allergy to nickel. Did some research before buying the Galaxy Watch 6 and saw that, even though it's stainless steel, the back is protected by glass so allergy should not be an issue.

I have been getting this rash, very itchy, that is exactly what I get from things that contains nickel. I've only had the watch for a month, it's a bummer.  Never had any issues with Apple Watch, and I realized the back is very different from the Galaxy one.

Any tips on how to avoid this? Or I need to abandon the watch completely?
