G'day;

    I believe that those folks who have a soreness or rash where a watch
    band, ring or bangle fits on the wrist or finger; may not have an
    allergic reaction to the particular material, nor allergy to their
    own sweat. I believe that wearing such a strap simply stops natural
    perspiration from evaporating, and that the warm, moist,
    nutrient-full area, mostly undisturbed beneath the watch or strap,
    simply becomes a place where any bacterium is happy to start a
    family, and as numbers grow, their by-products irritate the skin.
    The most obvious remedy is to simply keep that area very clean by
    frequent washing with soap and water and properly drying before
    replacing the ring or strap. I had this problem and cured it. If the
    soreness is very pronounced, you might wish to get a doctor's
    opinion on how to deal with it. 

Cheers for now,
JohnB of NZ
