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.
