This is the second time I am posing this because the first time they said it was 'solved but it has not. I recently posted this on the US server and they said they would escalate it to the ones who were in the manufacturing country but I haven't heard anything and I got another flare of burns again this morning.
I have had my galaxy watch for over a year now and it has been wonderful, except for an issue that started a month ago.
I once noticed that my skin under the watch face (not the band) was very itchy. I looked under and it looked like a bad rash or burn had started! I switched wrists for a while, but the burn has not gone away. Then today, I noticed another burn starting on the opposite wrist now too!
I never wear my watch in the shower and rarely wear it to bed. This hasn't happened kn the first year and is a new thing that's started to happen!! Anyone else having these issues?!
My wife, 75, has the burnt mark on her waist too. She did not do heavy exercise. So allergic reaction is rule out.
Considering to return the watch to Samsung.
This is interesting. I've just been online to see how common this is, I wear my watch every day, loose, never wet and take it off at night. I do have sensitive skin but have had no irritation from this watch in the 2 years of wearing it. Until yesterday, I felt burning under my watch, I took it off, the area was red and slightly painful and now I have burn bubbles on my wrist. I was not exercising or doing anything strenuous when it started to burn - so you're not alone!
- I have had my watch since December. I put my watch on yesterday at 9am by 1030am under my watch started to burn like crazy. Took it off and had this burn on my arm. I have never had a issue before. This is my 2nd samsung watch no problem. Out of no where it burnt the ahit out if my wrist. So u are not the only one. They can say u wore it to long this and that but I had mine on for a hour in half and it burned me.
I have had a similar problem but my problem was not with the wristband (which was leather) and I wear leather bracelets/nacklace (opposite hand) and have never had this problem, so don't blame it on the leather... Anyway to the problem, well for the longest time after wearing my galaxy watch 3, i would take it off at night to charge it but noticed whenever I did it itched (around where sensor is), but never left a mark... So I thought maybe it's from the watch/glass/sensor/material. After about 1 year from purchase of every day wear and night charges the same itch came every time I charged it then one day I saw a red mark... I'm like oh thats why I was itching... Took it off and never wore it again...
You can even see the tan line from where it sits... No thank you Samsung watches in going back to old school not so smart watches
