Apple Watch Series 6 with Tattoos

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.

If you go to amazon and search "Beadaholique 100-Piece Epoxy Stickers for Bottle Cap Pendants, 1-Inch, Clear

" you can get 100 bottle cap stickers. Link to the ones I purchased https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AFRWIRQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Slap 1 over the sensor and the watch works in wrist detection mode. I have a black tattoo on my wrist and these little caps work perfectly. 100 caps cost 8 to 9 bucks. Plus caps protests the sensor incase dirt gets between your skin and the sensor on the bottom of the watch. I have apple se watch I bought in March of 2021 running latest software.


Apple has been aware of this problem for years. I doubt they do anything about it, just not enough people complaining about it
