I Have had a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 for a few weeks (at Singapore) and now it is causing a large blister type irriation and swelling on skin on my wrist, right under the main body of watch. It is a new gadget and I do need to wear to monitor my heath stats heart rate etc. after my recent heart attack.
I like my samsung wearable, but it is hurting when I develop blister burn marks on wrist. See pic.
I did not have such reactions for other smart watch from other brands.
#Galaxy Watch6
Me too...but with GW5... technically a refurbished one, still within their warranty...so messaged them too. But I don't know what to expect from them?
I actually end up alternating wrist between day & night to give my skin a rest, to see if it recovers...it generally does, but lately seems the sensor point is extra sensitive and the skin has changed texture, like a scar from a burn. It's not right that I strategically swap wrists is it?
It just so happens in this pic I've also got bug bites higher up, but you can see the sensor burn approx 2" above wrist joint, as per recommended location to wear the watch.
Have messaged Sam_UK as mentioned from another older post on same issue (GW4)
The same thing happened to me with my galaxy watch 4. Samsung will want to take the conversation off line quickly as they do not like the bad publicity on their forums
Samsung took my watch back and sent it to one of their specialist repairers who said the Watch was perfectly fine and the problem was with my skin but two years later I still have the burn on my wrist which is getting to be quite itchy and in the end all they did was offered to buy my watch back but only if I signed a disclaimer waving all future rights to any claims arising from The Burns to my wrist well here's news for you Samsung the burn is still there and I may well have to look for other people to bring a claim against you because it's not going away and your product would appear to have permanently disfigured
my wrist
Ditto
3 month old Watch6 and about a month ago a red rash formed directly under the watch, burn like blistery marks. I switched to Samsung from Apple in January, I had several apple watches ending with watch5 never got burns.
