Q: Wrist pain with Apple watch
I Purchased my apple watch mid July 2016 and after wearing it for a few weeks noticed my wrist was really sore. Now I do have RA so I attributed it to that but haven't had my wrist hurt like that in years. I switched to my other wrist and had the same problem. I decided to put the watch away for a few weeks and my wrist stopped hurting and when I tried the watch again same problem. Needless to say I'm super bummed as I really like the watch. Any suggestions as to why this is happening or how to stop it?

Hi
If you experience 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.
Discomfort or 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.
