Q: Apple watch gives pain on the wrist?

Day 5  on wearing Apple watch and I feel sharp heat-like pain on the skin touching the sensors. I have an aluminium sports one and the last few days I started to wear it loosely thinking it's just because I'm wearing it very snugly. I tried on the other wrist today and the same heat-like heavy sensation is starting to build up. I'm a dentist so to those who will say build wrist muscle comments should not be one of the reasons. I wear a wrist watch a lot and most of them are heavy ceramic or stainless steel but I have never had this pain before.

Apple Watch, iOS 8.3, Aluminium

    You seriously have never heard of psychosomatic illnesses?

     

    Why do some people insist on jumping into a dormant thread and peppering it with ignorance? Is there a study?

    I did not have that issue specifically but after one day on my first day of wearing the Apple Watch that night in bed which in fact was last night I had sharp stabbing arthritic pain in my left wrist where I wear the watch.   Sorry for the run on sentence, I dictated it on my iPhone.  I should be more specific and say that the arthritic pain I felt was right at the joint  of the wrist. and I noticed that when bringing the arm up to the eyes for an older person who can't see as well you have to try to hold the watch as far away as possible and this causes you to have to bend your arm in a very unnatural way causing stress on the arm and wrist.

    Any watch can do that particularly if the band is too tight. Even my Tag automatic that issues no radiation.

    @deggie man you really have some nerve discounting that person's personal experience.  That is very rude.

    What persons personal experience? You aren't very specific are you? And I saw your edit of your mistake which one did I make?

     

    If depending on facts and science makes me a "jerk" in your mind I will take that as a compliment. You read and believe all that stuff from Dr. Mercola, right?

    I would ignore what Reggie is saying. I don't think you need to see a doctor. I think you are just a highly sensitive person which is actually something that is quite common. HSP.   Being able to sense Bluetooth may be a lot less common however it is a physical radiation so it doesn't surprise me that someone could sense it.   I think Reggie is the one who needs to go see an etiquette doctor.

    And maybe you should go see your eye doctor, Reggies name is Deggie.

    How rude is it to get my name wrong? Bluetooth is non-ionizing radiation in the same frequency as WiFi. the person you are referring to said they had been exposed to all forms of BT which didn't bother them and that their car did until it stopped looking which is factually wrong.

    That is pure bunk.

    You mean the studies sponsored by the cell phone industry? Those studies say that there are no long-term effects but that is different than saying that someone cannot sensue radio wave transmissions of a certain type. That is all that guy was saying -- that he can detect when Bluetooth is  searching for devices. Who am I to discount his personal experience, especially when it sounds like he physically senses this?

    There is no difference between BT searching for devices and broadcasting. And the car doesn't stop searching/broadcasting so how did the pain suddenly cease? And since we are inundated with BT and WiFi how would he gat any relief other than living in a lead-lined house?

     

    You also believe that vaccines cause autism, don't you?

    Then go see your doctor. If your regular doctor can't help you, seek the help of a psychiatrist.

    So you're suggesting that someone who has what you believe to be a serious health problem NOT see a doctor? If, as you believe, radiation is a serious heath issue, I'd think you'd be begging the poster to see a doctor. If, on the other hand, it's just the latest health fad based on zero scientific evidence, no, there is no reason to see a doctor. You can't have it both ways.

    There is a huge difference between discounting someone's experience and disputing their beliefs about the cause of those experiences. People jump to lots of conclusions. For example, people have been mistaking some not terribly uncommon neurological phenomena that occur during sleep (inability to move, an overpowering sense that someone else is in the room) for evidence of alien abductions. The experience is very real and very scary. It still doesn't mean that the person got abducted by aliens.

    According to this Wikipedia article it does appear that the scientific community has done tests to determine that it is not possible to detect radio emissions of the kind that Bluetooth emits. However at least I am providing scientific references here instead of just throwing accusations around. My point was just to respect someone's personal experience until you have proof otherwise. Here's the proof otherwise, and I'm perfectly happy to change my stance based on evidence.   However everyone else was just throwing accusations around without any basis or links or proof whatsoever.    Next time you start making accusations and claims, try backing them up with evidence instead of just hearsay.
