My apple watch's Heart rate sensor is leaving a temporary mark on my wrist. I don’t know if that's normal. it doesn't hurt, or cause discomfort. I have a series 7.

Your watch may need to be cleaned.
Or you may have developed a sensitivity/allergy to the watch's materials or the LED lights on the underside. You could consult a dermatologist about this possibility.
Apple wants to make sure you reach the right team for help with your watch. Apple recommends that you contact Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here:

Is the watchband really tight?
That’s your subcutaneous fat layer moving away from where it’s constricted. It’s absolutely normal. Stop wearing a watch and your fat layer will fill back in.
If you were not wearing it tight, you should probably talk to your doctor about that. It can be a sign of a serious problem.
What kind of "mark"?
A circular indentation
I wouldn’t say so, it’s just tight enough so that it’s not moving around when I move.
Something like that?
My watchband isn't tight, I just chalk it up to old, fragile skin.
Yeah, it looks very similar.
Oh, okay, thank you!
You’re welcome and I hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
