How can I prevent burns from frequent oxygen saturation checks on Apple Watch?

Hi, I hope this is not a problem for other ppl but I just got 2 degree burn from my watch. I was checking it frequently today and I noticed that it checks my oxygen saturation very often and I’m pretty sure that is what caused the burn.there is no way this happened as Apple explains from dirt or tight bands. I’m not sure who would be trying to strangulate their limbs. I want the answer from Apple today!!

You are not going to get an answer from Apple here at all. This is a user forum. Apple does not participate.


If you want an answer from Apple, contact Apple support directly.

Until then, stop wearing the watch and go see your doctor to confirm what’s causing this.
