musty apple watch smell

My Apple Watch smells musty. Not the band. But the actual watch device itself. I have replaced the bands. And have cleaned it with the Apple solutions with the running water. Disinfectant wipes. And alcohol. But the device still smells musty. Anyone have any advice??

Apple Watch Ultra Orange Alpine band showing wear already I've had my Ultra for just over 14 days and have not done much "extraneous" activities but have noticed that depending on the angle or light reference the band appears to be dirty. Pretty disappointed that such a pricey watch band (the band alone goes for over $100 regardless of size when you factor in taxes 49mm Orange Alpine Loop - Small - Apple) is not looking as good. I have seen tips on cleaning bands How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support and will have to try that at some point since I'm disappointed after just over 14 days.

Apple Watch Sensor burns Recently purchased a cellular Apple Watch series 7 and after a few week of wearing I'm noticing that my wrist is red and begin to burn and blister on the skin where the sensor part sits, no marks where the strap is in contact. Is this a known problem and any solutions?

Apple Watch 8 Battery Drain Brand new watch. First day it seemed to hold the charge. 2nd day it died after 8 hours. 3rd day it was at 50% after 4hrs. Read all the Apple advice (unpair, erase, reset phone and watch simultaneously, checked no Workout apps were running, etc). No luck. Watch also felt a bit warm this morning after charging overnight.
