iWatch 4 causing dull pain under arm pit

Hi - I never wore a wearable device before this. But used to wear regular watches on and off.

In Oct/2018 I got iWatch 4 GPS+Cellular. I usually wear it from 6 AM to 6 PM, occasionally use it to send text or call quickly. My battery discharges about 50% by the end of the day.

One month into wearing the device I start to feel dull pain in my arm, around the arm pit. I first felt I slept in wrong poster, until I see lot of people complaining about the same. What should I do?

Watch Series 4 (GPS+Cellular) Alum 44mm, iOS 12.1

IANAD, so I won't try to diagnose you. But I will point out that armpit pain can be a sign of swollen lymph nodes and thus possibly a serious infection. So see a doctor right away.

Thank you. I moved my watch to another wrist. Hopefully it is not related to the watch...i will update this forum soon.

You are also the first person I've seen complain here about arm pit pain.

If you have a sudden, unexplained pain, you should see your doctor.

As this problem did not start until you'd had the watch for over a month and as the pain is nowhere near the watch, it is highly unlikely that the watch is the cause. All the more reason to see your doctor.
