I have recieved multiple itchy red spots on both of my arms (it has also spread to my elbows) after wearing samsung galaxy watch I recently purchased. I have never had any problems with other watches or metals.

I wont be wearing the watch for a few days to see if the red spots retract. Will keep you updated!

Is the strap silicone? Only I had the same problem with a fitbit watch with a silicone strap. I've had to replace the strap with a metal one.

No, I have a leather strap and have used it on other watches, so thats not the problem. I dont have spots around my wrist, but i have one right under where the watch is. From there it spread to my upper arms and elbows.

Oh that's strange 🤔. Like you said then, see how it goes without it on for a bit.

After not wearing the watch for 3 weeks the red spots have mostly disappeared.

I just bought a Galaxy watch 3 and i have a rash under the watch directly. Hate to say it but I have to return this. I really wish Samsung would invest in some R&D as to why this happens with their watches. And btw Ive never had a skin rash until I started wearing this watch, not sure I'll buy a samsung wearable again.
