Hello all, I have the aluminum space gray Nike series 4 watch. I have dark thick black letters tattooed across the same area on both of my wrists.


It appears I am still having the known issue of wrist detection not working properly due to my tattoos. When I have the watch set up to lock with pass code and enable wrist detection on, my screen constantly locks up, therefore I miss notifications on my watch/and the screen locks almost always once the watch moves just a bit on my wrist.


I obviously want to have all of the watchs functions/features. I have read and am currently trying the epoxy sticker trick on the back of the watch sensors. It appears everything works great as far as when I wear it and getting wrist detection working just like it should.


My issue now becomes charging. I would like to continue using a 2 in 1 iphone and watch charger. My current one will not take a charge on the apple watch due to the thickness/protrudingness of the epoxy sticker on the back of the watch. I really would prefer not to have to take off and put back on the sticker for each charge. Has anyone with the same issue with S4 or S3 and found a 3rd party 2 in 1 charger that works for the watch?? Thanks in advance!!
