I got a Gold AW S6 over a week ago, and for a while it was working 100% without issue, ran fine. However two days ago I was doing some work in the garage, was getting chilly but I still felt warmth on my wrist the whole time. When I went inside I felt the watch was very warm, much more so than it should be. It had been charged the night before, so I don't think it has to do with that. It cooled off a bit, but still felt a bit warm. Worked on my car yesterday and noticed it was warm too. For some reason it seems to warm up when I'm out in the cold, not sure if that's a cause or just when I'm noticed the most.

Was about 40 F when I was working on the car, not sure about the first time. (Not in Kingman right now, up north just never updated location). I think I might return it, but wanted to see if anyone else has had an issue with a warm watch.
 
I used an infrared thermometer just now and my watch has similar temp to my skin, 85°F
