I have seen several post on pain in arm while wearing the galaxy watch, but do not see any resolutions.  Recently I have been experiencing pain in arm starting at my wrist and working its way up my arm.  I have switched the watch to my other arm and get the same problem.   I have ordered a new watch band to see if that is the issue.  Do you have a resolution for this?  Is the battery going bad and needs to be replaced?  Is there a chemical on the band when it gets wet will cause issues?

I don't know you but I think the batteries in both your arms are fine. Have you tried losing your watch band? Thats all I could think to try next. I hope you resolve your issue.

I have had my watch for 3+years and never done this.

I see. It wouldn't make much sense to me that you are only now experiencing radiation burn after three years. 🤷‍:male_sign: Hope the new bands help!

Bands didn’t help. Looks like it may be the battery.

Hmm...Frankly I didn't expect the bands to change anything. And honestly I'm afraid the battery won't help either... I guess it won't hurt to try.

I used to have that pain with Gear Sport...changed to lighter AW2 and the pain went away.
Now on Watch 3, which is heavier than AW2, and I sometimes leave it off if I feel the tendon pain begin.
