Given the millions of Apple Watches sold, it is likely that there are other people who wear them who have elbow pain. However, that fact does not mean that 1) the watch is necessarily the cause or 2) those people have pain for the same reason you do.

Have you worn a watch of a similar size on that wrist before? If so, it's unlikely that the watch is the problem. The only mechanism I can think of that would result in arm pain from wearing an Apple Watch would be if you spend a lot of time raising your arm to look at it. But, that would have to be really excessive.

Thanks for the input. I wear on my left wrist for more than 6 months now, and I wear throughout the day and most nights. I work out and have stronger than average arms, so the weight should not be a problem. However, I never had this issue prior to the watch. I'm interested if others experienced the same symptoms, and I agree with your point on millions sold and used. This most likely is unrelated.
