Nickel and red rash under my apple watch 8

I previously had the apple watch series 7 for about a year and had no problems, but since getting the series 8 watch I've noticed a red circle where it touches my wrist that gets more noticeable and itchy the longer I wear the watch. I switched it to the other wrist and it happened there too. Takes about a day to appear. Anyone else have a nickel sensitivity and notice a difference between the different series? I love the watch but this rash is annoying....

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

Since you mention a safety concern, you will almost certainly get an official Apple post recommending you contact them about this at Contact - Official Apple Support

I'll post it here but they will do it anyway. ;-)
