I bought my iwatch series 10 6 weeks ago. I wear it most of the time as I have long term conditions that need monitoring. My wrist has been sore last couple days. Where the sensor on the back hits the back of my wrist/forearm. Has anyone else had this and is there anything I can do to prevent this happening?

Are you wearing your watch too tight on your wrist? I can put one finger between the wristband and the wirst.
Have you been using earlier Apple Watch models before?
In any case, you should see your doctor to check your wrist, and then also give the give the official Apple Support a call about this issue.
Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
Maybe check this discussion as well:

No problem 🙂
Skin sensitivities and other safety information can also be found in the Apple Watch User Guide:

Thanks for answering. I wear it snug not tight because if it moves it looses connection to me and then I have to keep putting my code in to open the watch. I’ve not used one before.
when I googled the issue it appears that others have called it a sensor burn so thought I would check here. I’ve not worn it overnight and the redness has calmed down a bit
I’m a clinician so it will be ok. It’s calmer after not wearing the watch. I’ve not known any allergies for any other normal watches worn over the past 5 decades so I’m not convinced it’s an allergy. I’ll try again and if it returns will contact apple. Thanks for answering.
Thank for sending the link to others in same position. Surely if it is a new allergy you would think that apple would make sure it’s allergic free?
thanks again 😊
You're welcome, all the best 🙂
