Adverse effects of Apple Watch Ultra

This was the 26th April.

I have had this same thing happen to me and it only got worse as I wore my 45 mm Apple Watch Ultra Titanium model. Why does it for this? Can apple give some kind of compensation for skin damage? I have had mine for about a 8 months and it’s only gotten worse.

Have you recovered from the wrist injury from the Apple Watch?

If you say you are a doctor what is your real name and alma mater?

You need help my friend.

But, a light burn seems like it should be a light burn and perhaps there's just not enough research on long-term concentrated application of IR.

Or perhaps you have dermatitis.

I'll never see golf in the same way again 😊

I have this same problem. And I also noticed an abnormal twinge in my bicep and found it to be happening at a precisely spaced interval and removed my watch and it stopped.

here you can see the light scarring

Eleven days later, still wearing the Ultra2 on my right arm, and no irritation of any kind. Left wrist has completely healed. I am going to turn the O2 sensor back on for a few days to see what happens.

I started wearing the ultra 2 about a week ago. I notice atrophy where the watch sits atop my wrist. I’m going back to my mechanical watch.

thus, plus the spectre of radio waves on my person tells me to do it the old fashioned way.

I imagined it might be ok since so many health care workers wear Apple Watches. I don’t think they are wise.

Anyone married more than a few years take a look at your ring finger.

Women often have divots on both their shoulders. I'll leave you to figure out what causes those. ;-)

I had the same problem but even at a worst degree. Only after one night of wearing my brand new watch, I woke up with a severe discomfort on the skin and muscle beneath the watch, as soon as I woke up it felt like somebody had been hitting my wrist with a hammer all night,

Some people have an unusual nerve placement in their wrists. If the watch is too tight and/or if you sleep on top of your wrist, the watch can press uncomfortably and cause pain. This would be the case with any large watch. Wearing a watch, any watch, at night may not be a good option for you. People who have this problem can sometimes resolve it by loosening the watch band, moving it higher or lower on their wrist, switching wrists or just not wearing it at night.

I can't say I understand why you would try to dissuade someone who doesn't have this problem from wearing the watch.

The watch is the variable. However, I find it very amusing that people immediately jump to the notion that it's the sensors. In fact, any watch can cause a "dent" in your wrist if you wear it all the time. People who wear rings all the time also experience this same thing. And lots of people are allergic to nickel. That can result in a blistering rash.

I have been wearing this watch for 18 months, only taking it off for charging. No issues at all.
