Is the intensity of the infrared lamp on Apple Watch adjustable?

My wrist is thin and very little fat under the skin. My skin is browned by the infrared lamp of the Apple Watch. May I adjust the intensity of the infrared beam?

Hi


It is not possible to adjust the intensity of the sensors on Apple Watch.


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.


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.
