Apple Watch Skin Burns

Not unless the watch has a hardware issue.

Take your watch to an http://www.apple.com/retail/

Let them take a look.

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 doctor / physician before wearing it again.

Skin reactions can be a result of various causes including:

• Allergies (eg to nickel);
• Extended exposure to irritants (eg soap or sweat);
• Environmental factors;
• Wearing the band too tightly or too loosely (eg 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.

Apple also advises that the watch should be removed from your wrist and turned off if it experiences above-normal temperatures or becomes uncomfortably warm.

Sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. Special care should be taken if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against your body.

If you are concerned about a potential hardware issue with your watch, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation, including with a view to having your watch checked, if recommended by Apple (under warranty, if eligible):
