Hi
If you experience redness, swelling, itchiness or any other irritation or discomfort on your skin around, or beneath, your watch, Apple recommends that you remove your watch and consult a physician before wearing it again.
Skin reactions can be a result of various causes including:
- Allergies;
- Extended exposure to irritants (eg soap or sweat);
- Environmental factors;
- Wearing the band too tightly;
- Wearing the band too loosely (causing rubbing).
Irritants can make skin reactions more likely if found between the watch and/or band and your skin. Keeping your watch, band and skin clean and dry can maximise comfort and prevent long-term damage to the watch. It is especially important to do this after workouts or exposure to liquids that can cause skin irritation.
Also check that you are wearing Apple Watch with the right fit (neither too loosely nor too tightly).
