That burn looks pretty serious. Is it heating up rapidly and then burning the wrist in an instant?

Otherwise, why wouldn't they remove the watch as soon as it started to get warm...

Ideally Apple gets to the bottom of this, but it looks like it may be a battery manufacturing defect.

That's not a burn. My arm looks like that after wearing mine all day and take it off. Nothing new.

Sounds like the battery supplier produced a (hopefully small) batch of bad batteries. Isn't this just like other instances of over heating for numerous vendors which was caused by battery contamination? (except Samsmug, they just put the cathode and anode too close together - battery go boom)

Agree, it looks like he wears his watch really, really tight. a burn would be very red, or a bad burn would be blistered

Am I the only one to notice that the issue manifests as a yellow discoloration and the watch in one photo is right next to a yellow Sharpie marking pen? Coincidence? Maybe... or not.

No. I too found that shot interesting. Not saying they used a yellow sharpie to make a yellow mark on their watch screen (don't even think that possible). More just an entertaining coincidence on a Monday.

I just got my SE today. No issues for me so far. I don’t intend to sleep wearing it, either. My guess is a lithium battery issue.

That last photo sure looks like a yellow highlighter dot.

It could be the Nike Iditarod Race Edition. Keeps you warm in the Klondike.
 
Actually this has happened to my gf with her new Apple Watch Series 6. At least that's what it seems to be now. For a while we thought it might be a rash but now that I have read this and seen the pictures it looks way too similar to be a coincidence.

(And we're in Germany, not South Korea. ;) )
 
i noticed my watch gets pretty warm after charging, sometimes warmer than i'd expect. New Series 6 Watch.

Edit:
Though it hasn't burned me, nor is it uncomfortable.
 
Sounds like for some the Apple Watch SE , the SE part stands for Searing Exposure

😁

i suspect this is a bad batch of CPU’s, otherwise Apple has a major issue
