Galaxy Watch Skin Rash

[userBvROmrkSPV]

I had never had any problem with watches, metals, or plastics. I wore my watch over night to track my sleep and it is what I got. The skin looks like burned and hasn't got better after a couple of days. (It itches too)

Not sure what can be done, but really feel disappointed and wanted to warn other users too.

Absolutely having similar issue with Watch 3.  It's not a full on rash, but notable skin changes from where the back of the watch faceplate is touching my wrist. I've worn a fit bit 24/7 for almost 6 months with no skin issues.

Hey, just wanted to follow up. Are you still needing further assistance?

Has anyone noticed any sort of rash after purchasing and wearing their new Galaxy Watch 3? I bought one about a week ago and am now noticing a circular skin rash where the watch sits on my wrist. I do not wear it too tight or too loose. I keep my wrist dry as well.

I never had any skin issues with my Gear S3 which I've owned up until now. You'll notice in the attached image, the rash is made up of tiny bumps and they definitely have an itch to them. 

I'm wondering if others are experiencing similar side effects. In looking for answers online, I see where this has been an ongoing and unsolved issue for the Galaxy Watch series. Any insight? I'm soon going to be returning the watch for a refund if it doesn't go away!

I've been wearing since release day no itching or rash. I experienced that with the Pro series fitness watch.

My Galaxy Watch 3 causes a similar problem. I bought the watch in mid-August and by the first week in September, I had a rash on my wrist directly under the sensor in the back. The rash was shaped in a arc, somewhat like a half of a donut. I stopped wearing the watch, the rash resolved, I tried again, and the rash returned. I do not swim or shower with it on. I have a leather band but the rash is under the case, not the strap. I have only slept with it only once as I charge it overnight. My other watch is by a different company, has a stainless steel back, and does not cause a problem. QUESTION: Is there a coating or a film that would protect my wrist? Clear nail polish? Polyurethane? A resin? I love the features of the watch, but it is of little value if I can't wear it. My thanks in advance to Samsung for any improvement of their product.
