Waterproof Rugged Apple Watch Band + Case For Apple Series vs Classic Plus Stainless Steel Magnetic Closure WatchBand for Apple Watch: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Elastomer degradation and microparticle shedding, Allergic contact dermatitis from elastomer additives, Moisture trapping and bacterial/fungal growth and Seal degradation leading to device water ingress on the Apple and not on the X-Doria.
• We flag Nickel leaching from stainless steel on the X-Doria and not on the Apple.
• The Apple is Silicone/elastomer band with fluoropolymer-based where the X-Doria is Stainless steel, magnetic closure, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
• We are less certain about the Apple grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
