Nail biting -how to stop?

Hi.

My DC (6) is an awful nail biter. He got it from me and I managed to stop when I noticed him doing it but it was too late 😭.
He's not an anxious kid I don't think, it's more when watching a film or sitting in the car just absent minded if that makes sense. So I don't think there's something external to fix that would help. At the moment it's just a case of pointing it out when I see it, and he stops, but often straight back to it.

We have tried Stop n Grow which he didn't even seem to notice, and a variety of fidget/chew toys that just don't seem to have quite hit the spot. Please share links/pictures if you've come across any that did, as well as any other tips!

Thanks in advance
