Apple Watch causing wrist pain

Hi, I've seen some people complaing about wrist pain potentially caused by the Apple Watch. Bought mine about six weeks ago and started to feel a pain in my wrist- and hand joints on my left arm (NOT a rash or skin irritation). What are the possible causes/solutions? From a health perspective, this can't be good? If the Watch is causing the pain, Apple must have some solution even if it entails that I get a refund for the product? Again, if it is caused by the Watch, it is affecting my exercise program and it will be sad if I can't use the Watch for what I bought it for. Apple, any ideas / response? Please.

I just got my Apple Watch a week ago. And where the glass bubble sits on my wrist is where I get pain. I never had pain there until Apple Watch. I have always worn a watch before. And never had pain from any watch before. I have no skin rash. No redness. Just pain. I’m not wearing the watch too right as I can move the watch, but it’s nit too loose. And the pain is only where the glass bubble sits. I see I’m not the only person complaining. So this isn’t just an issue for a doctor. This is an issue Apple needs to have some concerns on! When people are spending hundreds of dollars on a watch, it shouldn’t be giving us a medi problem that we have to spend more money going to a doctor! I say maybe some lawyers need contacted.
