Galaxy Watch 4 hurting my skin

[Adelio85]

Hello,

I am a bit scared of what is happening with my new Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.

I have noticed a big red circle the size of the back of the watch on my wrist where the watch touch the skin. 

I have tried to understand what's wrong, and I believe it is the heart rate sensor that is somehow like burning my skin. If I leave heart rate on continuosly I feel like small electric charges on my skin as well. This is getting worst everyday to the point where I needed to switch the sensor off.

Is anyone having this issue too?

I never really had problems with watches or jewelry before, I am not allergic to metals or plastics i know this for sure so I am a bit baffled?

Can someone help please? What should I do? is it possibile that my watch has a defect?

I don't think this is normal isn't it?

Many thanks

Kind Regards

Adel

I have watch 4 classic 46mm, I have left it as in default system. I didn't face that issue yet and I hope I don't.
You mast see your doctor cuz the way you explain the circul it might damage your skin before it get hurts see a doctor.

This is absurd, I don't need to see a doctor, there's nothing wrong with me, the red circle doesn't come by itself exactly where the watch is. The electric shock i feel when heart rate is on doesn't come by itself, it's clearly the watch.

There is something wrong with this watch, and as it wasn't free but I paid good money for it, it's absurd I find myself with a device that is hurting me.
