Arm Pain Using Apple Watch Ultra

I have been using the Apple Watch Ultra now for a few months and at first my wrist was aching quite severely. After discontinued use for a month, the pain subsided and I continued the use of the watch. I am now finding that I am experiencing pain in my elbow joints and surrounding muscle. My question : Is there any documentation that provides consumers with information on the side affects of using the Apple Watches. Has Apple released a statement on this and how do we as consumers recover from the purchase of a watch that we now can not wear due to health reasons?

Have you tried to change your strap?

I also have Ultra and I've found that the Alpine loop sometimes gives me some pain and discomfort, but the Trail one is perfect.

If you have this problem with multiple straps you can change the position of the watch in order to have him more on your arm than your wrist, as this article suggests.

I do have seen some sites reporting some concerns about radiations, etc but I don't know how reliable they are, they often seems inaccurate to me.

Good Day Michael


Thank you for the guidance and feedback. What is rather sad is the number of people complaining about the Apple Watch when clearly the Haptics are the root cause and yet we are faced with remedies such as "Wear it Correctly", or "Change the wrist band", etc.


I have stopped wearing my watch and have subsequently been to a medical practitioner who has advised me of the same, i.e. to stop wearing the watch.


Further articles talk about permanent nerve damage.


Tisk Tisk, Apple!
