Apple Watch causing wrist pain

If the pain comes back I will be contacting Apple immediately.

Why? What do you expect them to do about it. If the pain comes back, see a doctor.

The repetitive motion is turning your wrist up in a slightly awkward motion to turn the face on...over. And over. And over again. Enjoy 😊

I've been to my GP, they think I have carpal tunnel.

What did you GP tell you was the next step? Brace, physical therapy? Have you started the recommended treatment?

I've never said it was the owner's fault. What I have said it see a medical professional. There is a difference. So what did your doctor say?

I have the same problem, called Apple and they told me to take off my watch and go see a doctor.

I uninstall an app call lark and i saw a bit of improvement but still i still feel a radiation in my arm. Sorry my English is not that good. For a watch at that price i think we need some explanation from Apple.

I’m so glad to find a recent forum. After about a week of wearing it, today I experienced extreme wrist and joint pain and I even felt in my knuckles. Im going to try to wear it less but if i experience ir again after reducing usage, I guess I will have to return it. There has to be some sort of solution or alternative but if apple isnt willing to find one then I need my money back.

I honestly am at the point where I’m going to sell mine as I’m past the return date when I bought it through sprint and they only give you two weeks I moved back to my old Fitbit and I can still wear that Daily with no wrist pain but once I put the Apple watch on it lasts at her longest ten minutes before my wrist starts aching and I start getting like that full achy feeling in my wrist and have to take it off it’s a shame Apple hasn’t looked into this I see a lot of posts about this and I nevertheless had this issue with any of my galaxy watches or fitbits

I have the series 1, and i still also feel this pain. It's localized (unlike what I've read), maybe people could enlighten me on how long they've been wearing their watches before onset of symptoms?

honestly, if this gets me a new watch i'd be pretty down, but the main goal is to just solve this issue

I have the same pain when I wear my Apple Watch . I just radiates deep in my wrists and makes it feel weak. A bump has formed. I stopped wearing it for a week and the bump went away. I put it back on a few days ago Monday 3/26 and the bump is back. This is a bit insane that the Apple Watch is affecting this many people in the same way. Apple needs to address this. I absolutely love the watch and it’s functionality, but I don’t want to be in pain for bit. I want this fixed or a fefund.

My husband bought me the Apple iWatch 3 for Christmas. I have used it everyday since then eliminating my fit bit and watch and I am having the same problem. My wrist is very sore and weak. Very disappointed and wondering if I will have any long term effects.

Same problem.

Have an old 1st generation watch, my wife use it daily, never any problem regardless of band.

Apple Watch 3, we both get uncomfortable feeling in the wrist after a few hours use.

I would not say it is strong pain, but enough for me to take it off which makes things return to normal.

In my case, old watch is silver

New watch 3 is black and lte model.

Could black color or lte have anything to do with this?

Does anyone have no pain with old watch but get pain with silver or wifi only versions of watch 3?

Not a nickel allergy. This is deep inflammation inside the wrist. Sorry but you are off on this one. I can only say what happens when I wear it. You are not me so you really cannot day that it is not the watch. But thanks anyway for your effort. It’s def the watch.

Is there any visible sign of this inflammation that your doctor can see? Sorry, but there have been extensive tests of non-ionizing radiation (WiFi and Bluetooth) and they do not cause ANY cell damage which would rule out them being the cause of your inflammation. You are definitely off on this one.

All the Apple Boggers paid to keep track of this post need to stop insulting people’s intelligence. Something is wrong maybe there should be more time addressing the issue and less time insulting people. As the Apple rep told me when I called “there is more radiation coming from your phone”. Well my watch is on at least 12 hrs a day attached to my wrist not my phone. According to Apple they have not gotten any complaints.
