My wrist is burning after wearing my apple watch 8 ultra

So see a dermatologist who will probably tell you not to wear sports watches if your skin can't take an LED light.

Certainly don't wear it at night and in the shower. Clean it daily

I think we all get hooked on sleep analysis just because it is there, and leave it on 23x7 when:

1. If we have a poor sleep mix of the three sleep types, is there any "cure" anyway, and

2. If it does not fluctuate much from day to day or week to week, what is the point of continuing? Better give your skin a rest.

The larger more powerful watches seem to provoke more reactions from what I can see from reading them.

I would not wear any kind of watch all night.

You have the advice, stop using it and contact Apple Support.

...and don't wear it all night either

The advice is to contact Apple and/or your doctor simply because nobody is qualified to help or diagnose your particular problem.

Contacting Apple will help them collate the statistics.

I have been wearing mine since close to launch. In the past month or so I have been developing an eczema like rash directly where the sensors make contact with my wrist accompanied by a light burning sensation after prolonged wear. I can assure you this is not an allergic reaction to the band or the materials in the watch. This seems like an issue. It is causing redness and changing the texture of my skin.

I have had the apple watch 1 and series 4 until now. I bought the ultra 2 about a week ago. After 2 days of wear my wrist started to hurt and after removing the watch, I seen a burn/spot. This has never happened with my other apple watches. I did open a case with apple and am going to see a dermatologist. Removing the watch 3 days ago now and this is what that mark still looks like.

Similar issues -- I've had every version of the AW from 1-7, and it was only on the later versions where I'd notice it, and like others, would be worse during sweat-based exercise (like running, but not always), but would also happen at night or random times. It seemed as if the green LED was stuck on. I switched to a Garmin Epix, and the consistency of the issues went away, and in two years, only had it twice on the Garmin. Tried the Ultra 2 this past week, and after only a couple of days, the burning is back quickly. So I'm returning the U2 and sticking with Garmin. Hope Apple addresses this at some point...

Maybe the first time it happened you might have decided that your skin cannot take LED green and I/R light.

Stop wearing it. Maybe sell it on.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? What did your doctor say? I’ve been experiencing the same thing. The first few weeks of wearing my watch, I didn’t have any issues and now I can barely wear my watch for more than an hour without feeling like my skin is burning. Hurts to the touch after taking my watch off for a few hours as well.

It’s the lazor readers on the back of the watch constantly scanning your arm. I actually have scaring where my ultra watch rested. I think long term this could cause serious health issues yet no one from apple has yet contacted me. So they obviously ain’t to concerned

I, too, was recently burned by an Apple 7 series. It caused a blister & red swelling under the face. I took it to the Apple Store to request a replacement & was told I have sensitive skin and there is nothing they would do about it. I do not have sensitive skin but if I did, why would it take a year for my skin to have a reaction? I am 52 years old & have never had a allergic reaction externally or internally. I am extremely disappointed in Apples response to my burn.

I just found this thread because I’m experiencing the same thing. I’ve had my watch for about a year and I’ve never had an issue. I took it off today to shower and put it back on a few hours later. Within 5 minutes of putting it back on, my wrist started to burn and it had a red spot right where the sensor part sits. It’s been 20 minutes and it still burns like I touched a hot pan.

I know, I know…everyone’s advice is to contact Apple. I will, but I’m sure they will disregard. I just figured I would add my name to the list. I’m honestly technologically an idiot, so I don’t even know which generation my watch is. I think it’s an Apple Watch SE if that’s a thing. Lol
