I've recently purchased this watch, and ended up with a rash. I've worn many different metal and plastic watches and bracelets before never been allergic to anything. I've not worn the watch since and even a week and half later is still there. It just doesn't seem to leave and I am unable to wear another watch or long sleeves due to it. Although it as got smaller, its super itchy and just won't disappear. The pictures below have been taken a week and half after the rash first appeared. Since then I've not been wearing the watch. @samsung @samsungwearable

Hey @Members_sxocVuC
When you wear the Galaxy Watch for a long time or do a high-intensity exercise while wearing it, skin irritation may occur due to friction and pressure. If you are wearing your Galaxy Watch for a long time, remove the Galaxy Watch from your wrist and do not wear your Galaxy Watch for several hours.
• Do not use any accessories except the Galaxy Watch in the water.

Actually I don't wear it as much probably about 9 hours a day. If thats long definitely not suitable for a watch.

Also the pictures was taken a week and half after the day it first appeared. I have used the watch since cause its very itchy, and flared up. For cost I've paid it i don't it to be made by cheap skin irritating materials.

It's the rose gold strap. I haven't worn it since it been a week and half still super itchy and flared. But its gone down slightly, hopefully it won't leave any scars or marks.

Yeah looks like there's clearly a massive problem with there straps but from samsung I'm really disappointed that they haven't done anything to fix it or recall the straps, it shouldn't be allowed to continue giving people rashes.
