Has anyone else experienced this? My Apple Watch has been irritating my wrist and leaving a red mark like in the photo. I’ve had irritation from different band options before, and this doesn’t seem to be that, it’s actually coming from the watch nugget itself.
I do workout with my Apple Watch on, but I always let it dry or wipe it with a soft cloth afterwards. Is this a sign that I need to clean it? I’ve tried Lysol wipes before after a suggestion from a friend but worried that will damage the watch long term.
I love my watch and hate taking a break from wearing it due to this. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Weirdly I have been getting this same thing recently after wearing various AW models since v2. I change bands m, wash them and clean everything with soap too. Jokingly blame watch OS 10 for this!😂😂
Have you ever washed your watch?
How often do you clean your watch?
I wipe mine daily with isopropanol alcohol.
You need to clean it fairly often. Same thing has happened to me.
It’s called contact dermatitis, I had this when I tried sleeping with my watch (basically wore it 23 hours a day). Once I returned to charging it overnight and cleaning the watch regularly - it went away.
Try loosening the watch strap & cleaning the watch + strap with isopropyl alcohol.
If it continues - consult a doctor, not strangers on the internet.
Your wearing it too tight.
Wear it less tight and clean regularly. If it persists test for nickel allergy.
Wear it tighter. It’s probably too loose
