To Apple and the community, from a first time Apple Watch user: Do you have an explanation of the irritation this watch is causing? I see similar reports here without any answer. I think we have the right to a response.
Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 10
ive seen these problems online often and i once had something similar; what worked for me was changing the band. your skin could possibly be allergic to the material used in certain bands. if you think that could be a valid reason, then find a band that's allergy free. it could also be that you wear your watch too tight, this was the reason my skin was irritated. i switched to a magnetic band that allowed me to precisely place the end of the band wherever i wanted, allowing for more comfort compared to the standard holes in the band. wearing it loosely helped for more comfort and less skin irritation.
hope this helps!
