I have a small red spot under where the watch face sits. I have sensitive skin anyway but wondered if that was normal

I have been wearing my Apple Watch for a week & now have a red spot on my wrist under the watch face. Is this normal? I have sensitive skin but it felt comfortable when wearing.

Hi


If you experience redness, swelling, itchiness or any other irritation or discomfort on your skin around or beneath your watch or band, Apple recommends that you remove your Apple 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.
