I started experiencing some itching and redness in my left wrist, were I normally wear my smartband. After removing it I noticed how tingly and red the area was so I decided to keep it off and wait for the skin to heal.
I got a pretty ugly burn (looks exactly like burning the skin with a hot stove and is quite uncomfortable) and several days after the skin started peeling off.
This has never happened to me before with other smartbands I´ve used (which I´ve even kept all night to track my sleep patterns) but I´m now terrified of using the watch again. I don´t want to keep damaging my skin and now I have an unusable device. Might be a solution to change the band that comes with the watch?

Hi SaudaA,
I’ve had my Galaxy fit2 just over a week and I’ve had to stop wearing it due to it burning my wrist.
I’ve got photographs if required. Can you help me please?
Best regards
Rose.

I have the same issue! My wrist is currently "burnt" in 3 places, main one being where the sensor sits. Really itchy & irritated!
