powders), may be hazardous. Exposing Apple Watch to environments having high
concentrations of industrial chemicals, including near evaporating liquified gasses such
as helium, may damage or impair Apple Watch functionality. Obey all signs and
instructions.
High-consequence activities Apple Watch is not intended for use where the failure of
the device could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
Choking hazard Some Apple Watch bands may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep these bands away from small children.
Skin sensitivities Some people may experience reactions to certain materials used in
jewelry, watches, and other wearable items that are in prolonged contact with their skin.
This can be due to allergies, environmental factors, extended exposure to irritants like
soap, sweat, or other causes. You may be more likely to experience irritation from any
wearable device if you have allergies or other sensitivities. If you have known skin
sensitivities, please take special care when wearing Apple Watch. You may be more likely
to experience irritation from Apple Watch if you wear it too tightly. Remove Apple Watch
periodically to allow your skin to breathe. Keeping Apple Watch and the band clean and
dry will reduce the possibility of skin irritation. If you experience redness, swelling,
itchiness, or any other irritation or discomfort on your skin around, or beneath, your
Apple Watch, please remove Apple Watch and consult your physician before resuming
wear. Continued use, even after symptoms subside, may result in renewed or increased
irritation.
Apple Watch models with a stainless steel or aluminum case, the stainless steel portions
of some Apple Watch bands, the metallic portions of Hermès bands, and the magnets in
the watch and bands contain some nickel. Nickel exposure from these materials is
unlikely, but customers with known nickel allergies should be attentive when wearing
them until they can determine they are not experiencing an allergic reaction.
The Apple Watch case and the Apple Watch bands contain trace amounts of acrylates
and methacrylates. Acrylates and methacrylates are found in many consumer products
that come in contact with the skin, such as adhesive bandages. Some people may be
sensitive to them, or may develop sensitivities over time. Apple Watch and its bands are
designed so that parts containing acrylates and methacrylates are not in direct contact
with your skin.
The materials used in Apple Watch and the Apple Watch bands meet the standards set
for jewelry by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, applicable European
regulations, and other international standards.
