Thank God I don't have a sleeve!

"With a variety of bands, and price tags ranging all the way from $349 – $17,000, there’s an Apple Watch for everyone. Except, possibly, the heavily tattooed."

Ink Gate is an infinitely better title

This lol funny. Choice and consequences. I don't have much sympathy here; you do have other options. I guess a skin graft is among them.

I'm usually sensitive to these sorts of things, but I agree with you. I'm not sure why anyone would expect it to work when you've basically interrupted the HR IR beams with a layer of black/green/whatever. It's similar to putting on a long-sleeved shirt and the watch over the material. Not. Gonna. Work.

How is putting a layer of fabric over the skin similar to putting ink inside the skin?

I approve of this gate.

It's a layer in between the watch and the blood vessel, and therefore it can interfere with proper reading of the blood pressure.

Gate would imply its a flaw. Not Apple's fault some people's skin tone is ink (which doesn't fall into normal human skin tones )
