Apple Watch Skin Burn

I have been burnt numerous times from my Apple Watch - last time it blistered. Apple is refusing to replace it even though I have Apple Care. Has anyone else had this issue? What are the best steps to get a replacement!

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10

The issue isn't with the watch, so Apple will not replace it. The issue is with you. Either you have an allergy or some other sensitivity to the watch's materials or the levels of light that the watch emits. You might speak to a dermatologist.


Otherwise, give or sell the watch to someone else. Before you do, follow these instructions;
