Apple Watch Series 8 burn marks

I purchased Series 8 a few months back and am seeing a burning mark on my left wrist. What should I do? I don't have any allergy.

Burns on Wrist from Series 7 Apple Watch Occasionally I get a red spot that looks like a blister under the metal part of my Apple Watch. At first I thought it was caused by chafing but this time it hurts like a burn and the way the skin is peeling back and turning yellow looks distinctly like a burn. What can be done about this? Clearly I don’t want to wear a watch that burns my skin but I paid good money for the watch and expect Apple to sell top quality products.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Burn on Wrist Title: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Burn on Wrist Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience to see if anyone else has had a similar issue. I developed a burn-like mark on my wrist after wearing my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I contacted Apple Support on Oct 5 and 6 (2025) and was told it might be an “allergic reaction.” When I asked for written confirmation or documentation of that finding, my request was declined — I was only given the case reference number. Apple later sent me a follow-up email with links about how to wear and how to clean the watch, but no official written explanation or resolution. I have a medical appointment this weekend to have the mark assessed and plan to share the results when available. Has anyone else experienced similar skin burns or irritation from the Ultra 2 sensors? Also, has Apple provided any written findings or refunds in your cases? Thanks for any insights or advice. — Christian M. [Edited by Moderator]

Stop wearing the watch and consult your physician.
