Apple watch gives pain on the wrist?

After wearing my Apple Watch for a week or so (taking off at night to charge) I started have pain (an aching type) from my wrist up my arm on the outside of the arm. I stopped wearing the watch but still have the achy pain.

Make an appointment with your healthcare provider.

You may have an allergy to the ceramic on the back or to the trace amount of nickel in the watch.

You may need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store to have the device looked at. They may be able to identify if there is some incompatibility between the watch and your body.

I am currently on day 5 of using my apple watch 38 mm stainless steel case with the Milanese loop. I Have been experiencing a numbness and tingling sensation on my (left) arm since I have been using the i watch. I wanted to make sure that I wast just "feeling stuff" so I decided to switch it to my right arm and 2 hours after wearing it I started feeling the same on my right arm as well. I did some research and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the battery or radiation Being emited by the watch. Has anyone else felt anything similar.

Or is it wear exactly you are wearing the watch and how tightly? The watch doesn't emit any radiation. If it is the battery it would be do to excessive heat, when it starts to hurt take it off and have someone feel the bottom of it to see if it is hot.

TThank you for your response but it has nothing to do with heat. How do you know that no radiation is being emitted?

Because the watch only has Bluetooth and WiFi and neither emits any radiation.

the watch is not obtaining any "information" such as heart rate and so on using Bluetooth and wifi. Do some research on devices such as other "fit" watches and see other users experience something similar to what i am feeling. But thanks for the input. Anyone else experience something similar.?!

No it isn't. Did I say somewhere that the watch is obtaining heart rate by using Bluetooth or WiFi? If I did I can't find it. It obtains the pulse using an infrared sensor which is why it is having a problem with some tatoos. The other wearable devices are primarily using vibration sensors to feel the pulse rate. The use Bluetooth to transmit this data to your phone, tablet, etc.

If the Watch is hurting you and you are in the 14 day window you should return it and get your money back.

There is always a small minority that experience some type of problem with new technology. For a good percentage of those it usually turns out to be an allergy to something used to build the device. For the rest it is usually psychological issue.

Yup...thanks

I Have thumb and hand pain after wearing the watch for 4 or 5 days. I wear it very loose. I suspected a problem with new biking gloves and switched to my right wrist to rest my left hand. After 2 days I started having the same issues with my right hand. I havent worn a watch in a decade. Wondering if the loose watch is causing it to hang and put pressure on a tendon? I LOVE the watch, but love my apposable thumbs more. I think I'm gonna have to return it :-(

In January of this Year it was reported that the iPhone 6 SAR nearly exceeded legal radiation limits for simultaneous rating. Every single electronic device especially phones and such gadgets emit such radiation. These are regulated by the FCC. Now being that this is a fairly new item we do not know the SAR or specific absorption rate exposure levels for it. The tingling, numbing and pain may be due to this. So when anyone says that these devices don't emit such radiation They clearly don't know what they are talking about. All of the latest iPhone models (and I will include the iwatch on such because it is an extension of the phone and is composed almost exactly the same as the iPhone) have several transmitters that can simultaneously emit microwave radiation, which include cellular, wifi and Bluetooth radiation. When all of these are turned on the SAR value is 1.58 w/kg the legal Limit 1.60. We don't know yet what those are for the I watch And experiencing these symptoms may be indicative of having this device so close to us but tnx Dr. Iwatch.

For your future health, please get rid of your AppleWatch and other electronic devices. No matter how cool they may be, it is simply not worth it if it causes discomfort.
