Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I just googled I watch and numbness and it brought me here. Ever since I’ve started wearing an I watch “about 2 months now” I’ve noticed from about the upper part of my elbow down to my finger tips has a tingling and basically numb feeling. At first I thought it was a pinched nerve but seems like it’s only when I wear my watch that this occurs. Very uncomfortable. Wondering how common this issue is.
