I'm wearing the Watch 4 Classic for the past 2weeks and noticed the burns recently. Swapped it over to my right wrist and somehow that got burned faster

At first I thought it was like allergy from all the sweat stains etc. Washed the watch and cleaned it. My left hand now has a patch of much drier skin with irritated center. Went Googling on Samsung Watch 4 skin irritations and holy cow....it's not just me facing this! Kinda disappointing as I was wearing the Watch almost 24/7 besides shower and charging it to monitor my Health...and Sleep. Found a comment on Reddit suggesting to turn off the Monitor Blood Oxygen whilst sleeping to help and let's see if that works. Otherwise, it's kinda pointless getting a smart watch ain't it20230424_113628.jpg20230424_114055.jpg20230424_114057.jpg

I've got the same watch never had that problem, might be your skin is reacting to something else or maybe sweat.

It's not sweat or the strap as people are saying. It's the sensors on the back that affect certain peoples wrist. This is a big problem with samsung watches yet they refuse to acknowledge it !!

If it's not an allergic reaction then everyone would have this complaint when wearing the watch surely?
