I’ve had my watch for just over a year, but I’ve been wearing older models for about 6 years now, everyday. Recently I’ve started getting burn marks, where my skin is blistering. Is this an issue with the watch? What can I do (obviously other than stop wearing it, as I use it instead of carrying my phone around at work and for tracking exercise etc)

Every Watch series is different from the one before it. Past experience has no bearing on your experience with this watch.
You aren't the only one, but you're one of few compared to millions of us who aren't experiencing this issue.
Burns can be classified by mechanism of injury, depth of burn in relation to layers of the skin, and severity of the burn. Common injuries are thermal, electrical, chemical, radiation, and nonaccidental.
Just saying that your watch caused a burn isn't a full diagnosis of the issue! What did your expert state was the type of burn and the cause of your particular burn?

You may have developed a sensitivity to the watch's materials or a reaction to the watch's LED lights.
Consult a dermatologist.

Then you're one of the few who can't wear an Apple watch. Millions of us wear the same watch and have no burns or allergies.
If you think that your watch is faulty, you would need to get a 3rd party test lab to prove that.
I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for over 6yrs, how can you say I’m one of the ones who can’t wear one now? I’ve worn one for 6yrs and no issues. This has got to be an Apple Watch issue, as I’m not the only one with this issue
