Is anyone aware of how the new watch will react with heavily tattooed forearms?
Currently have a series 3 but my tattoos make it impossible to use due to disconnecting every few minutes.
Hey jmrsdn,
i bought the Apple Watch Series 6 Nike edition and i have also issues with the wristdetection, so nothing works correctly. That’s so frustrating. Every year, since the og, i bought the new apple watch. I can’t understand this problem. Other brands like garmin or polar can do it too. Imo they can solve the problem if they would turn of the wristdetection but let the other function works. I know it’s important for apple pay so they can turn this function off.
Yeah but that disables a bunch of stuff. For now that is what I did though.
i’ve been using bottlecap epoxy stickers for 5 years and had no issues.
As I posted earlier;
Might not apply to you, but besides all this it would be cool to unlock your iPhone in this new, masked world we live in.
Thanks for this info. This is so frustrating :(
I just got my Apple Watch 6 and am having the same issues with my tattoos. The only solution I found so far is turning wrist detection off.
The best solution is the so-called epoxy stickers. Everything works perfectly. charging doesn’t works. To do this, you have to remove the epoxy sticker.
You have a point, I think ;-}
I’m having the issue with my 6 series and my tattoo. On my watches (series 2-4) I had no issues. This one it’s really bad.
Buy bottlecap epoxy stickers. Place over sensor and BAM, it sees through tattoos.
Shouldn't have to do it, but it works.
Same here, for now I have wrist detection off but that’s not ideal as it disables some functionality. I do think it may be the Blood o2 sensors ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just ordered mine from amazon. Thx! Big help!
You’re the lucky one ;-}
