Apple Watch causing wrist pain

Hi, I've seen some people complaing about wrist pain potentially caused by the Apple Watch. Bought mine about six weeks ago and started to feel a pain in my wrist- and hand joints on my left arm (NOT a rash or skin irritation). What are the possible causes/solutions? From a health perspective, this can't be good? If the Watch is causing the pain, Apple must have some solution even if it entails that I get a refund for the product? Again, if it is caused by the Watch, it is affecting my exercise program and it will be sad if I can't use the Watch for what I bought it for. Apple, any ideas / response? Please. 

Hi

 

If you experience discomfort on your skin around or beneath your watch, Apple recommends that you remove your watch and consult a doctor / physician before wearing it again.

Div-man,

 

Your questions deserve to be answered by your physician.

 

FWIW, I had a some wrist pain after I started using my watch, but I discovered that it was because I was overusing it when I was learning how best to use the features. After I better understood how to use it, I consulted it less, and the pain disappeared.

It seems like this is an automatic reply. I've seen this response before. If you read my concern, it is NOT a skin rash or irritation. It is actual joint pains. Are you a consultant for Apple?



See your doctor. There are any number of things that could be causing your pain, from wearing it too tight, or too loose, to the bulge on the back irritating a nerve. This is a technical forum. No one here can offer you medical advice beyond a) consult your physician, and b) If it hurts when you do that, then don't do that...



Well, thanks for your advise. I am a sportsmen for decades and this is the first time that this happens. Thus, it seems like it is a complete waste of money if you can't use it for what it was made for. Interesting. Thanks anyway



Hi Div-man,

 

I had never used a smart watch that had a senor for heart rate before I felt the same pain you are describing. At first I thought it was the watch it may be too tight. Then I schedule an appt with apple and the watch was fine. I decided to continue to test it out. I bought a plastic bumper for the watch because I felt like it was the metal against my skin that bothered me.  However, after that I felt fine. Only when I wear it too tight I feel that same pain again.

 

Just another perspective hope this helps.

I have the aluminium silver sport apple watch series 2.



Got several different new Apple Watch 3's (42, 38, different bands, all cellular) and within 5 minutes wearing time I feel a similar uncomfortable/odd sensation in my wrist.  It is a little bit warm as well but that could be due to the band material.

 

And for the usual questions or assumptions I've seen posted...

  • No, not wearing it too tight - can fit fingers in between wrist and band
  • Tried on other wrist and feel the same sensation, but takes a bit longer to be noticed
  • I am not overturning my wrist when I get notifications and thus overusing muscles - I just got put it on a few minutes ago and I've tried not turning my wrist at all for some time and still get the sensation.
  • I'm a regular watch wearer for 30+ years
  • Average build and average size wrists.  Nothing out of the ordinary physically...mentally is another story

 

Something coincidental maybe, but when I rest my Macbook on my lap for a period of time or use it on an airplane, I get an odd/uncomfortable sensation in my lower stomach area.  Am I the only one who feels this?  I think it is a similar odd/sensation on my wrist.

 

Maybe I'm just not meant to have Apple products touching me.  Really like the Watch though...guess it is going back.
