a dull ach or burning feeling after wearing I watch?
<Edited by Host>
Apple Watch, null
II've only had my I watch since 23rd April and after wearing it I started to get dull ach and burning feeling on my arm. So I had taken it off for few days and it went off. So I put I watch back on and more or less same feelings came back.
Hi Donna
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 it and consult a doctor / physician before wearing it again.
Skin reactions can be a result of various causes including:
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).

HI Jonathan thanks for replying.
I've not had any of what you've said. It's really strange to explain. had just dull ach and feels like the top bit of my arm is burning ( like when you get sun burn) ive taken it off now for few days and feels bit better?. Apple support called me today about it, bless him don't think he knew what to say to me. I've told him I'm going to try it on my other arm to see if I get the same feeling as I'm getting now. If I don't then maybe it's just me?? Lol but if I do I'm going to call them up. I'm going to wear it bit more loosely from tomorrow.
WIll just oust have to see if anything happens while I'm wearing it on other arm.
Thanks for your advice
See your doctor.
I have experienced similar issues. I found that it leveled off after a few weeks. I also found that keeping my watch adjusted correctly for my arm and keeping it clean, as well as alternating bands, helped me. 🙂

You are having an allergic reaction that may not be recognized by a doctor because there are no visible signs of what big-med thinks of as allergy signs.
When you touch the skin it feels as though it was scraped - sort of - very difficult to describe -- but no rash and no visible swelling.
Sometimes Over the counter anti-histamines work - sometimes they don't .
Donna ..
If you have not already done so, it wouldn't hurt to send feedback to Apple > http://www.apple.com/feedback/watch.html
You're most welcome! 🙂
YEs Carolyn I have just done that. Thanks
Thank you all For your replies. I've kept my watch off for a few days and going to start wearing it on my right arm ( which I will find strange)
