Good day to all!
I would like to know if anyone has the same problem as mine. Kindly find attached my photo. Im cleaning the band very carefully with antibacterial soap and lot of water before use and same still happening. I had bought apple watch series 1 and i did not had any problem ever. The skin appears irritation and seems like a light burn. Also a close friend of mine has the same problem.
Awaiting your comments!
Apple Watch, watchOS 4
Maybe try some other bands as well. The affected area seems to be more band than the watch? Here some detail cover on that topic:

Some people can have mild to severe skin reactions to silicone ( fluoroelastomeric ) bands.
This is common.
Solid silicone bands have no breathability and many things can build up and stay on the inside of the band causing skin irritations and rashing.
A way to avoid this is to wash silicone bands more regularly to get rid of any dirt and surface skin moisture ( sweat ) from building up on the inside of the band.
OR
Simply choose a different style watch band that has some air breathability to it, like any open loop style bands or leather bands for your Watch.
Good Luck to You!
Has anyone the same problem?
Many people have allergic reactions to materials used (especially nickel) in various products, including the Apple Watch. You might want to talk to a doctor/dermatologist about your reaction.
