My Apple Watch is burning my arm

My Apple Watch is burning my arm. I have a round burn mark under wear my watch sits. So I can’t wear it. I’ve heard of this happening and it’s a fault with the watch.

You could have an allergy to the materials the watch is made from.


You should see your doctor/dermatologist to find out if you have an allergy to any of the materials.


If you feel this is caused by excessive heat from the Apple Watch, then make a Genius Bar appointment to have the battery checked for overheating.


But I would seriously make the doctors appointment, as allergies can go from being annoying to more serious from repeated exposure.
