Hi I am wearing my new leather link. While I really like the band, it is leaning pellet indentation marks on the underside of my wrist. Normal? What can I do? Thanks.
 
Only thing I’d think you can do is wear the strap looser. It sounds like it’s just too tight. A band with texture will leave imprints of its texture, if it’s worn tightly.

@Knowlege Bomb I don’t understand. Are you having burns? If so, oh my. That sucks.
Yeah I actually have an open case with Apple that has fallen to the backburners. The first time it happened I thought it was from moisture/sweat but the second (and worse) incident there was no moisture. Looked like a burn for a day or two and then peeled about a week later.

Since it was the band I paired with my Ti AW6 I just asked them to give me something else I could wear. Sent a bunch of pictures of the burns and was told I’d hear something back after a week or so and it’s now been about 90 days with nothing but crickets.

@Knowlege Bomb sorry about that. You might want to email Tim Cook.

I thought about trying that but I’m fine with an old Nike band I had sold to my buddy that he was kind enough to give it back since he never wore it. I’ve picked up a couple of others since so it’s not like I don’t have options these days.
 
I returned the solo loop for this reason alone. Silicone and non airy = no no. Loosen the leather link, should work out fine

Check out Groove Life's Apple Watch Bands. I have 3 Groove Life rings--I love them! I just ordered the Apple Watch Band for the first time, but I expect them to be much better than Apple's Sport Band.
 
My Levi’s leaves seam marks on my skin. Matter of fact so do my fruit of the looms. Argh!

In all seriousness are you trolling? Because anything with texture against human skin will leave indentation marks. Don’t worry they’ll fade.
