I’m a fairly new Apple Watch user (since I received it as a Christmas present). Much to my surprise, one of the round contacts on the back of the watch burned the skin on my wrist. I have very thin wrists, but I have to put a folded piece of paper towel under the Watch itself to prevent burn marks. I can’t imagine other users not having the same thing happen. I’d love to know if anyone else has this trouble. Thanks! -Debbi R
