Apple Watch causing wrist/hand numbness and tin...

There is something extremely wrong with the Apple Watch.  I really like all my Apple products (iPhones (3), iPads (2), iPods (2), iMac, and Mac Book) and even the Apple Watch but there is something seriously wrong with the Apple Watch.  I wore the Apple Watch for 2 days and then began getting a slightly numb and tingling sensation in my left wrist from where the watch was down to my fingertips. On day 3, the feeling continued to grow stronger and felt like the numbness/tingling were going up my arm to my elbow.  It even felt like the watch was tapping me when there were no messages.  That was the last day I wore it.  After I stopped wearing the watch, I still could feel the numbness/tingling in my wrist, hand, and still feel like there is a tapping sensation on my wrist.  I have not worn the watch for 4 days now and continue to feel the same sensations. Cold temperatures seem to increase the sensations.  I continue to occasionally feel like I’m wearing the watch on my wrist.  Unfortunately, I will be returning my Apple Watch

The watch was not tight on my wrist.  It was able to slide around when I would move my wrist and hand.  I am in good health and have no other medical problems.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Return the watch for a refund and see your doctor. It is not a problem with the watch.

I tried the watch on my right wrist too.  I started to feel the same thing.  I don't need to see a doctor.

So if you hit yourself on the left foot with a hammer and it hurts... your test it to hit yourself on the other foot with the hammer as well. If that also hurts, then the problem just be the hammer...

Go see a doctor. The problem is not the watch. It may be the way you're wearing it. It may be an allergic reaction to the materials in the watch or the band. It may be completely psychosomatic. The watch, however, does not have something "wrong with it".

I was going to suggest the same thing KiltedTim suggests -- check to see if you're having an allergic reaction. The main Apple Watch support page lists the materials used in each of the Apple Watches, including Sport and Edition, as well as the bands. It's reasonably possible you're having an allergic reaction to one of the materials. I've heard of folks having allergic reactions to nickel, for example. Rare? Yes. Impossible? No.

If not the watch, it could be the band. If you moved the watch to the other wrist and experienced the same symptoms, that screams allergic reaction. I would visit your primary care doctor or a dermatologist. I'm not a doctor, so don't take this as a diagnosis. See your doctor, and get his or her official word.

With all respect, you would be foolish not to see a doctor. It's clear that you're having a reaction to some element of the watch - you would be wise to find out what.

So, if I know my leg hurts because I broke it, I don't need to go a doctor?

I just bought an apple watch and it came today.  I also bought one for my husband.  I noticed the feeling of like a vibration in my hand.  I would describe it as a slight tingling or light vibration.  My daughter put it on buy couldn't feel the same thing.

I was wearing it only for a few hours.   I took it off and after an hour the feeling went away.

I am very healthy, I also I am very in tune with my body.  I really want to keep this device buy this is a really strange feeling.

I will give it a few days or I will have to return it.

My slight wrist numbness and slight tingling feeling stopped after 4 or 5 days of not wearing the Apple Watch.  So, no I didn't need to see a doctor.  I work out 3 to 4 days a week and ride 60 to 80 miles a week so I'm in pretty good shape.  I just wanted to let people know to be careful wearing them.

I don't feel any of the sensations or numbness that you describe. There is nothing wrong with the  Watch but some people may have a reaction to the materials it contains. Return the watch and try a different product.

Some people are sensitive to radiation.   It's called electromagnetic sensitivity.    If you are sensitive, then the doctor will only say -- so don't wear the watch.

Um... no. That is pure unadulterated bull. Junk science. There is no such thing as "electromagnetic sensitivity". No doctor on the planet who isn't a complete quack will claim otherwise.

Yes. According to the World Health Organization:

"EHS is characterized by a variety of non-specific symptoms that differ from individual to individual. The symptoms are certainly real and can vary widely in their severity. Whatever its cause, EHS can be a disabling problem for the affected individual. EHS has no clear diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF exposure. Further, EHS is not a medical diagnosis, nor is it clear that it represents a single medical problem."

Did you even bother reading the quote you posted?

there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF exposure. Further, EHS is not a medical diagnosis

In fact I did read it and, in fact, I was agreeing with you. Please note the "yes" in response to your post.
