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.

I have been experiencing the same issue lately.  Any time I wear the watch I get an itchy, scaly, circular rash under the actual watch.  If I wait about a week and not wear the watch, the rash will go away but as soon as I put the watch back on the rash will come back.  I also notice that when I am wearing the watch I get a sort of burning feeling under the watch.  I love my watch but haven't been able to wear it very much due to this issue.  It got so bad this last time that my skin cracked and started to bleed.   I came on hoping that I could find something that I can put between the watch and my skin and came across this thread.  I am hoping there is a solution that can help with this rash.  Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

The rashes are a"thing"for most smart watches. Randomly Google 'rashes' with apple, garmin, or Fitbit. Most smart watch do it. Because it never happened with i wore my casio 24/7 for months..... Seriously, Google another brand for the same issue.

I bought a Watch 3 about three weeks ago, and I have exactly the same problem... a circular rash underneath where the main body of the watch sits. I for not wear it tightly.

I am suspecting that it is something to do with the sensors on the rear of the case.

HOWEVER... I previously had a Fitbit with similar sensors, which I could wear for weeks at a time, and NEVER had any rash problems with it.

But within 3 weeks of this new Watch 3 I have this bad rash. Very annoying and disappointing.

Why...?

I to have a red mark on my wrist from the watch. when I had the 42mm I never had any rash or red marks. it's growing in size and my skin is peeling. I would post a picture if I could.
