O hai der guys, did anyone experienced a skin burn or mark? Because I want to see what does teh skin burn or mark from the Apple Watch looks like
 
The battery is kinda small and it would be pushing it's ability to generate enough heat to burn the users. Hopefully they would remove it if it even got uncomfortably warm.

There are people who are super sensitive to many things and the AW could cause some irritation, especially the sport model but I believe that most of the irritation problem is the result of a foreign substance getting between you and your watch.

Has your watch burned you?

No
I haz no Apple Watch
I haz only an iPad
 
By skin burn or mark, I assume you mean contact dermatitis due to irritants (which may not necessarily come from the AW especially if one wears it too tight and soap, sweat, etc. gets trapped) or an allergy to AW materials such as nickel and methacrylates as well as other more common materials including leather and plastic.
 
Well you do need to be careful of course. I've got the Link Bracelet and our hob is an induction type. So when you're seriously drunk you don't want to lean on any of the hob plates when they're on. That stainless steel watch band will heat up pretty quickly.

Why did none of the literature warn me of this? I should sue is what I should do, now I look like I've got a permanent flesh coloured watch tattoo on my wrist. Bloody dangerous is what it is. Still, it smelled really nice at the time. Mmmm, sausages. :rolleyes:

Contact dermatitis. From wearing watch too long without break and/or dirt grime under watch. Clean your watch more often. May try over the counter steroid stuff...or see Dermatologist.
So I normally wore my watch from wake to bed all day. Never had rash.  watch sport gave me a rash. I covered back with screen cover and rash healed up.
 
Dat is how much ouch u can get from a Apple Watch skin burn! :confused:

The battery is too small to get hot, no?

Irritation and stinky skin and rashes happen on all watches if you wear it too tight and sweat lots.
Great idea, thanks for your pleasure.

uh, no.

Should it burn me when I don't workout?
Only if u wear it during bedtime 3- a million times!
(But, without charging ur :apple: watch)
 
i wear mine during bedtime all the time with my sleep tracking app.
Not sure why you are so scared of getting burnt. it won't happen...
 
Yeah, when I get teh Apple Watch for my birthday and wear it for a few nights

You seem to lack a real understanding of the issues. People don't get burned from merely wearing the AW; they have to have a preexisting allergy to nickel, etc. or they wear it too tight thereby trapping moisture and other irritants underneath the band (called contact dermatitis). If you don't get contact dermatitis from wearing your Frozen, Dora or Hello Kitty watches, you don't have much to worry about.
