I had tingling feel in my forearm, in middle of upper arm, and finally where my shoulder joint connects w/ my thoracic / chest / ribs etc... Returned it today. Still got some numbing feel in my joint area on the arm i used to wear.
I’ve just bought a series 6 two days ago and I’m getting the same issues. Started with numbness, tingling and dull ache in my little finger and back of wrist/forearm. I work as a radiographer/MSK expert and I believe that my issues and indeed a lot of offer peoples issues is due to the new posture of the arm which is not natural. Elevating the arm to view the watch uses different muscles. The muscle in my elbow/forearm feels slightly swollen, which is causing compression on the ulnar nerve (funny bone nerve), which is causing the issue. Lots of people are going to end up with musculoskeletal problems from use of these devices. I’m returning mine tomorrow before I do long lasting damage.
@@DJHARN147 That is exactly what I was feeling when I got my watch 3 days ago. I was looking thought these comments and people were suggesting to turn off the heart rate monitor and I did just that, and I definitely felt a change once I did it! I do feel a little tingle here and there, but it wasn’t as bad as before.
Just wanted to say thanks. I've had an Apple Watch 3 for about a year and had been getting really bad wrist pain recently (ache in wrist and pains up arm). Probably took about 6 months to develop. I am now wearing it further up my arm as you describe and it has had an immediate effect (now no pain at all). Apple really need to put out an advisory note on this. Thanks again!
I’ve always worn it loosely on my arm and not my wrist. Pain is excruciating. I won’t wear it anymore. It’s definitely causing the problem. Within days of not wearing it, I’m better. I tried wearing it again and caused problems again. There’s something going in that apple is not admitting.
Such a simple tip and so effective. Thank you for making the video in English. My wrist was killing me and your tip brought instant relief. Thanks again from California.
A lot of people are feeling discomfort in their arm because they’re sensitive to EMF radiation that comes from the Bluetooth and the cellular radiation. The solution to this is to turn it in on airplane mode when you don’t need the connection which would probably be most of the day. The Apple Watch will still work to tell time, Measure your heart rate track your fitness etc. You can still use a lot of the apps, you can also store music podcasts and audiobooks on it. And if you need to connect it you can turn it on for the period of time you need it connected to Bluetooth or cellular. A lot of people have the same problem with Fitbit except that Fitbit doesn’t have airplane mode and your body is experiencing EMF radiation 24/7 for as long as you wear it.
the pain traveled all the way up from fingers to my arm and into my face causing a tingling, weak ness and feeling of impending doom then a sudden , profound horrible pressure in between my shoulder blades . I sat frozen , calming myself . I love the watch ...My wrist band is stainless steel by Lagos it is worn loose .
I’m having the same feeling!! I just bought my gold stainless steel series 9 watch and week and a half ago. I’m so concerned about my health now. The pain is increasing. What did you do to relieve the pain?
I just bought Apple watch series 4 yesterday. I was wearing G-shock(Casio) previously...So after a day or two, I started feeling slight pain in my wrist and elbow... So is it due to change in watch that my hand is trying to get used to Or a too tight band(I wore it a little tight on first day, like when I removed it in night,there were marks of the band, maybe too tight, I guess) Or because of radiation? Can you help me in this Also has your pain gone when you wore it a little loose? How was your pain first? Like was it severe or mild? Thanks in advance :)
But is the watch too high to accurately measure your heart rate? I've had the watch a week and am thinking of returning it. :( I have wanted this watch for months.
This doesn't make a difference for me. My watch sits right on my a vein. I have no cushion on my wrist like most people do so whatever the watch puts out is having a more prominent effect. Interestingly, it bothers me much more when its not on airplane mode to the point where I can't even wear it. So I just keep it on airplane mode when I do wear it which isn't much.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Watch, it is not so tight on my wrist but I started suffering from "carpel tunnel symptoms" just right after a few days of wearing the watch and only in my left hand :( I'm using computer "keyboard" for more than 20 years, that also could be the trigger for "carpel tunnel" but it didn't bother me till I started wearing the smart watch.
I also noticed the pain while I was using the pc, but I am on my second Apple Watch and wearing it above the wrist bone and not too tight and not too loose really worked for me ! This problem is really frustrating
I’m alreasy wearing it higher up my arm and have plenty of room. But I feel the signals from the phone and it feels painful and numbing at the same time.
I agree with you, its a deep numbing pain. My watch is loose and I can put two fingers under it, and also position it in front or behind my wrist bone, it still pains. Not all the time tho, only when the green light under the watch is on.
@@sydneyswartz2242 SAME I’m like is this giving us cancer or some shyt because it’s a wierd radiation numbing type pain something seems off abt the Apple Watch reading your wrist 24/7 you shld be able to shut off the scanning feature and the green light feature because the pain isn’t the wrist it feels more electrically numbing 🙄🙄 idk I wear mine and it happens sometimes I know I shldnt but I’m still curious as to what it is something isn’t right abt it.
I have a different pain. Where the back part of the watch sits on your wrist it feels like it’s bruised. Like I don’t have pain unless I touch it like a bruise but it’s happen on the first day of owning it. Anyone else have this problem.. it’s like the skin is sore?
Peta Chaplin I had the same thing on the first week wearing it. It gave some real bruises on the skin, so I stoped wearing it on the next week. It seems that our skin is not used with the material or something like it. It gets better, I use my watch everyday and never experienced such thing anymore.
Thanks for the info. I think I found what it was.. I was wearing it super tight lol wore it looser on the other wrist and didn’t experience it. Thank god I love the watch I would have been devo if I couldn’t wear it anymore
I have been using apple watch 3 for 6-7 months (on/off) and it took me a while to realise that watch is causing pain on my fingers (in my case between the knuckles). Initially pain was not too bad but lately it’s unbearable (difficulty holding the cup). I don’t think there is any justification to pain on how you wear it. Also not sure what kind of damage is done (other hand does not have pain and nowhere else)
Most likely it's Radial frequency burns. It's from the Bluetooth. You may have damage on a cellular level. Test the frequency of the unit. Everyone has different levels of tolerance, this is where the naysayers come in. I had to return mine after both wrists were burned, the marks were right where the light comes from on the pebble. It's supposed to be low frequency, but that's what they tell you. Test it. After 6 months of non use, and my right wrist is still a little tender in one spot. We are Guinea pigs in the testing of man merging with machine.
Hi, thanks for the advance. I have done what you have said. Let me see if it will help. Thanks so much. I also bought it recently and I was so excited too. It is also quite costly.
So, if you aren't tightening the watch band so it holds still, are you just constantly readjusting the Apple watch on your wrist? Maybe it's because the Galaxy watch is so much heavier, but I can't find a balance on tightness and the watch not just falling to my hand every time I put my arms at my side
Thanks for the video, i just bought the samsung galaxy watch and my arm is hurting... will not wear it all weekend to reset the feeling and give it ago Monday.. if not any better ill have to return it... just on having the pain indicates that its causing serious damage... ill most likely return it...
I wear it like this (maybe a bit tight tho) all the time and yet the problem occurred and leaded me here. It’s odd to me that this is only a problem for smartwatches. Maybe it’s the protruding sensor on the back, but maybe it’s the EMF that is effecting you in ways that are not yet scientifically backed.
I’ve been wearing my Apple watch 4 for about 7 months during the day on my left arm. I have never worn it above the wrist bone closer to my hand because my wrist is small and bony and I don’t wear it tight. I’ve always worn it on my wrist closer to my elbow. I’ve been having sharp pains inside my wrist below the watch head and in my forearm. It’s better when I take the watch off and worse when on, so I will probably leave it off for a couple weeks and hope it goes away completely. I’m worried about the radiation. Someone recommend that I try wearing it with airplane mode on so maybe I will try that after a couple weeks, but most likely I will end up selling it. Is anyone else concerned with the radiation?? I’m kind of freaked out.
When I first got my Apple Watch I wore every time I went out which was like everyday and it felt fine and comfortable for the longest. But then like 3 or 4 months past of every day use it started to irritate my skin. I found myself adjusting it multiple times during the day because of how the skin on in my wrist felt. So I figured my skin got irritated of everyday use so I stopped wearing it for like 2 and a half months in which I thought was plenty of time to heal but then when I try to wear it I get that same irritating feeling almost right away. And I did try wearing it how the video suggests and it didn’t help soooo I don’t know anymore.
Hell man i have 7 series stainless steel with 45mm of diameter i feel its too bulky to carry and get a pain in my wrist i always feel excited to wear but just an hour i can tolerate not kore than that.. awful😢
Thank you for the video. I had a "series 0" Apple Watch I wore for years, with no problems. Recently, I bought a series 7. I started getting pains in my arm and wrist. I tried different bands, different tightness, and even wearing it higher up (like you show). Nothing helps. I does NOT irritate the skin. The pain persists after I take it off and can take days to resolve. I just tried wearing it again today for a couple hours, and the pain is back. It's disappointing because it's very nice and too late to return.
I had tried this approach before watching your video but I started wearing it closer to my hand again. I am now trying wearing it like you advise again. The biggest problem for me was not pain so much but my issue was when ever my wrist would bend backwards during physical activity it would depress the crown button and summon Siri. So often it became very annoying. Also on several occasions the back of my hand would press both buttons and start an emergency call. One time I did not realize it and I had the police show up to my job site because my watch called 911 (U.S. emergency number). I am now wearing it above my wrist once again but unfortunately I have wrist bones that are further from my hand than most, I think. When I am wearing long sleeves it is very inconvenient because my shirt cuff extends about 5 inches beyond my watch. With loose sleeves this isn’t a problem but with tighter sleeves (like a thermal undershirt) it makes my watch inaccessible. Button sleeves on a dress shirt are absolutely out of the question.
Thank you so much! Just got this Apple watch for Christmas and was so bummed out when a few days later I had burning , shooting pain in my wrist going up my arm 😟 I was really concerned and thought something was wrong with me and that I was maybe having a bad reaction to the watch . I will try this and hope that it helps! 🤗
I noticed sharp pains In my wrist from wearing a Fitbit and had to return it in thinking maybe it’s from the waves from the smart watch I dunno it’s weird
Rob John whats uuuuuup! Yep I did realise the same thing, I thought that was something related to the sensors or something. But I started to using the watch like a mentioned on the video and the pain went away. I bought a Apple Watch S4 now and it is alright. Really awkward issue though. Thanks for your comment :)
I had to stop using a watch about 20 years ago because I had a wrist pain, now I'd like to buy an Apple Watch and I should know what to do now if the pain starts again! Thank you! I love your accent!
I have a Series 3 Stainless Steel 42mm which I hardly wore for years as a result of this pain. I recently (4 days ago) decided to try using the watch again and I had the same issue. After about 2 hours, the dull pain began in my wrist and then began to radiate up toward my elbow - it's a deep pain, it almost feels as though my bones are aching. I took it off and the pain began to subside soon after, as it always does. I must say, the pain has always made me feel like the watch is detrimental to my health, it just does not feel right. This may sound dramatic, but I kid you not, it feels as though radiation is seeping into my body and has always made me scared that the device may - God Forbid - cause cancer if I were to continue to use it. I'm sure that if you have been unfortunate enough to feel this pain, you understand what I mean. I then thought about using the watch in airplane mode to see if this made a difference. When I put it into airplane mode with WI-FI and Bluetooth off and wore it for 2 days straight, I felt no pain!. This leads me to think it may have something to do with EMF radiation or something else to do with connectivity, (WI-FI, Bluetooth, etc). I have now started to use my watch in this manner. I wear it to track my fitness throughout the day with no pain when it's in airplane mode WITH WI-FI and Bluetooth ALSO off. It isn't paired to my phone most of the day so I can't receive calls, send messages or use data however, I can still track my fitness, A couple of times a day, I turn on my Bluetooth for a couple of minutes to allow for the fitness information (activity rings, steps, workouts, etc) to sync with my phone. It's pretty much a Fitbit now but at least I get some use out of it; the main reason I want to use it these days is for fitness anyway. Over the years, I had read many comments regarding pain stating that it's the way the watch is worn and I knew this not to be the case for me as I had tried so many different brands, placements, and fittings. If anyone has this pain, try using it with ALL connectivity off and seeing how you feel. I had no issues with my Series 2 in the past. Having read a few forums it seems like the problem is most prevalent in my watch model however not exclusively. It appears it's an issue that people have found across different series. I think our watches may be faulty or maybe we are just hypersensitive to the connectivity being so close to our body for extended periods. I must say, I haven't tried different methods of connectivity on the watch such as just cellular, just WI-FI, just Bluetooth, or different combinations. As I no longer have a cellular data plan, I cannot test this however, I will be trying to play around with connectivity settings over the next few days to see if I can get more use out of the watch without pain. If not, I'll just stick to having a Fitbit Apple Watch!
@Julio Rowel Hiya. I no longer have an pain as I don’t use the connectivity while it’s on my wrist. Unfortunately, I don’t have a data plan on the watch at preset so I can’t comment on using just cellular connectivity.

Eu comprei recentemente pela primeira vez um smartwatch e fui logo no Ultra por causa da bateria, mas tenho sentido um certo desconforto usando 24 horas, tem horas que acabo tirando por causa disso. Eu já uso na parte anterior desse osso e também a pulseira está mais frouxa até do que prefiro, a ponto de se sacudir um pouco o braço o relógio move, pois se apertar para ficar firme já sinto desconforto na hora. Acho que o problema é o formato da parte traseira do relógio que é abaloada e isso faz com que todo o peso, mais a pressão da pulseira, se concentre em um ponto só no punho. Se fosse uma traseira flat, o peso se distribuiria uniformemente, como é em um relógio normal. É tão abaloado que o relógio não assenta no pulso, fica meio bambo. Acredito que esse formato seja proposital para que os sensores fiquem bem encostados na pele, mas não é nada confortável paras os músculo e nervos.
É bem por aí, mas você começou com o maior de todos 😂😂 As vezes um mais leve pode ter melhor adaptação. Desde que eu lancei esse vídeo tive todas as versões do Apple Watch e nunca mais senti nada, pode ser costume tbm!
@@BatechYT Pois é, mas parece que o Ultra ainda é mais leve que o de aço por ser de titânio. O de alumínio é bem leve, mas a tela é de vidro e segundo relatos, arranha bem fácil. Como tem tela curva, também não vi opções para proteger que me agradassem. Vi muitos reviews antes de comprar e não tinha visto ninguém falar de dor, as reclamações eram só sobre a bateria em relação a concorrência. Só quando eu busquei especificamente sobre o assunto é que vi que tem bastante gente sentindo algum desconforto, até mesmo marcas tipo queimadura e não é apenas com o Ultra.
I feel the same way I’m actually doing research on it I have the Apple Watch Series 5 and I have the same pain but it’s my whole forearm and it’s from radiation supposedly🤷🏾♂️
i am a nurse.. i bought mine last yr sept 2018... in my duty i hang it on my pocket near my breast because as a nurse i always wash my hands everytime i touched hospital thingy & patient care.. after 3 wks i noticed my breast had pimple then went bigger everyday, 1 day pimple on my breast popped out and pus came out... thank GOD i did wound culture and result was normal... but i missed my mammogram appointment.. now i dont wear it on my scrub shirt.. and now for 2 wks again if i am going to bath or clean my patient i am putting to my pocket but this time on my leg scrub pants ... and now i noticed i have small green hematoma like appearance.. but subsiding now... i dont know if these were all coincidences or from my iwatch coz sometimes it will automatically on the laser light from the back of my iwatch that detects my heart rate count... now i am just wearing it for my exercises purposes...
I will try it but its not a good solution. People pays a lot of money for those rubish smartwatches and get a strong wrist pain. Its not a wrist prb is a watch problem, those companies should fix the watch problem to dont harm the peoples wrists :/
Thank you for choosing the English and I am also facing the same issue from last week so will try to wear as your describe then will share my experience with you soon
I am on my 5th Apple Watch, sleep with them, and just remove it to take a bath.. No issues. Your iPhone or cellphone emits more radiation (5g, bigger battery etc..) than a watch if you are worried about something that can emits radiation, your cellphone is near your d*k on the most of your day, that you should be worried if you want to go this path.. 😂 Do you think that USA health department that controls even coke, is going to let something that is dangerous?
I have the apple watch for 5 days now. I have same experience like you, couldn't find any you tube video about apple watch wrist pain. Thanks a lot for your video. I will try it, hopefully it works for me cause I love apple watch and don't want to return it.
Charles Walser hey thanks for your comment. Try using it like this as far as you can from your hand, and make sure that it strap is not too tight or too loose. Hope it works for you! I let the link for the site that I got this tip on the description if you wanna look better. Thanks again for the comment 😄
There is either Radial frequency cellular damage or nickel in the material. Either way, you may have to return the unit if you are still experiencing problems. It seems to be a problem with fitbit as well. Got a bad feeling it's the first one. The fitbit Blaze burned me. Seems to be a tech issue across companies. Someone was saying the same thing about Garmin. Until it doesn't harm us, we need to steer clear. Right now, we are Guinea pigs for the testing of man merging with machine.
I tried a 44 mm Apple Watch it was just too heavy for my wrist and the convex underside just put too much pressure on my wrist..painful! What helped me was going to a 40mm it’s much more comfortable... BTW recently watched a review and he said he could not wear the 44 mm to bed because it was too heavy..my experience exactly..
I’m trying it on the other wrist now. I was wearing the way you suggested and it was painful. I’ll check out your channel because I do speak Portuguese.
scott vance whats uuuuuup Hey, I just bought the series 4 and I felt this same thing on the first 2 days, but as I was using Long sleeved shirts the Apple Watch was not on the ideal place. Last couple of days I used on the position that I mentioned and it is just ok now. Maybe it’s because we are not used with the new shape of the back of this new watch and it takes sometime for our body get used with it. This issue is really awkward though
Having things on the wrist is actually unhealthy if you think about it, the blood flow is decreasing even slightly and you can tell that the wrist area is pretty sensitive.
I took mines off n gave my Apple Watch to my mom n I have the versa they both doing the same way I think these watches has toooo much radiation be careful Yaris really uncomfortable and painful sometimes I can feel it still even tho I stopped wear them smh
There are 7 generations of Apple Watches where millions of people are using it around the globe without any medical problem reported. Your iPhone generates more radiation than a microwave and you are afraid of the watch but probably sleeps beside your iPhone... lol Hello nonsense
gostei, estava querendo um video assim, mas para você isso não é tao interessante, por que temos diversos videos sobre tecnologia em ingles e poucos e português, se fizer dois canais fica top

Kim Garner fuck that sucks
My fitbit alta sits on my wrist for 2 years now and i never experienced wrist pain at all
WOLFY - GMD that just means your body isn’t as susceptible to EMF radiation as others. Or you just have a high pain tolerance which is also dangerous
Thanks. Will try for awhile like you say
Your English is really good man keep it up 👍🏻
I have been having the same issue with my Charge 2 Fitbit!
What’s uuuuuupp
This really sucks 😕 did you manage to workaround this problem somehow ?
Me too sue 🙄

It us very toxic and harnful to our well being .
I started getting wrist pain when lifting. Still trying to figure it out.
I just bought Apple watch series 4 yesterday. I was wearing G-shock(Casio) previously...So after a day or two, I started feeling slight pain in my wrist and elbow...
So is it due to change in watch that my hand is trying to get used to
Or a too tight band(I wore it a little tight on first day, like when I removed it in night,there were marks of the band, maybe too tight, I guess)
Or because of radiation?
Can you help me in this
Also has your pain gone when you wore it a little loose?
How was your pain first? Like was it severe or mild?
Thanks in advance :)

Whats u r wrist size n apple watch size
Hi, thanks for the advance. I have done what you have said. Let me see if it will help. Thanks so much. I also bought it recently and I was so excited too. It is also quite costly.
It's the heart rate monitor! They should make these watches with the option of completely turning the feature off. On the watch and the app.
I also think so. Heart rate monitoring is the problem. Every time when it measure my impulse I feel it.
I am wearing fossil gen 5 watch and I also think so that heart rate monitor is the main problem creater
but you can turn it off, i mean I can.
Milos D thanks
After 3 days of using my hand is paining thanks for the info will try it out from today.
nicole charles suuuuuup
Hey tell me if works for you =)
Thanks so much for this really simple solution! :) It worked for me almost immediately, I’m so happy that I don’t have to return my watch!
I'm going to try wearing the iWAtch as You suggest. However, how long did the wrist pain last?
Is it only for Apple watch or for all the smart watches?
I’ve heard that other brands do the same
Obrigado, eu sentia muita dor e fraqueza no braço esquerdo que eu uso. Esse vídeo de 5 anos atrás está me salvando. Obrigado. 🎉😂❤
Thank you - this did actually work, I had tingling and throbbing on the back of the palm
Happy to help!!
I only got my Apple Watch today and within 4hrs my arm/wrist/hand ache and tingle like mad!!!
This really sucks…
Did this Video help ?
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. It's a big help. Hello from Canada
So, if you aren't tightening the watch band so it holds still, are you just constantly readjusting the Apple watch on your wrist? Maybe it's because the Galaxy watch is so much heavier, but I can't find a balance on tightness and the watch not just falling to my hand every time I put my arms at my side
Thank you! This worked immediately. Been wearing it this way for weeks now...
Thanks for the video, i just bought the samsung galaxy watch and my arm is hurting... will not wear it all weekend to reset the feeling and give it ago Monday.. if not any better ill have to return it...
just on having the pain indicates that its causing serious damage... ill most likely return it...
I wear it like this (maybe a bit tight tho) all the time and yet the problem occurred and leaded me here.
It’s odd to me that this is only a problem for smartwatches.
Maybe it’s the protruding sensor on the back, but maybe it’s the EMF that is effecting you in ways that are not yet scientifically backed.
Feel the same in my upper arm thought it was all in my head smh now I see I ain’t crazy
I’ve been wearing my Apple watch 4 for about 7 months during the day on my left arm. I have never worn it above the wrist bone closer to my hand because my wrist is small and bony and I don’t wear it tight. I’ve always worn it on my wrist closer to my elbow. I’ve been having sharp pains inside my wrist below the watch head and in my forearm. It’s better when I take the watch off and worse when on, so I will probably leave it off for a couple weeks and hope it goes away completely. I’m worried about the radiation. Someone recommend that I try wearing it with airplane mode on so maybe I will try that after a couple weeks, but most likely I will end up selling it. Is anyone else concerned with the radiation?? I’m kind of freaked out.
Yes! You should be concerned about the Radio Frequency RF Signal! Watch a video about it. Dangerous.
Im wearing mine on airplane mode
When I first got my Apple Watch I wore every time I went out which was like everyday and it felt fine and comfortable for the longest. But then like 3 or 4 months past of every day use it started to irritate my skin. I found myself adjusting it multiple times during the day because of how the skin on in my wrist felt. So I figured my skin got irritated of everyday use so I stopped wearing it for like 2 and a half months in which I thought was plenty of time to heal but then when I try to wear it I get that same irritating feeling almost right away. And I did try wearing it how the video suggests and it didn’t help soooo I don’t know anymore.
I can’t return mine anymore😢
Hell man i have 7 series stainless steel with 45mm of diameter i feel its too bulky to carry and get a pain in my wrist i always feel excited to wear but just an hour i can tolerate not kore than that.. awful😢
I tied loose but it's uncomfortable
thank you , I was having that issue
Rebecca Sanchez- Salinas hope that worked for you 😄
Thank you for the video. I had a "series 0" Apple Watch I wore for years, with no problems. Recently, I bought a series 7. I started getting pains in my arm and wrist. I tried different bands, different tightness, and even wearing it higher up (like you show). Nothing helps. I does NOT irritate the skin. The pain persists after I take it off and can take days to resolve. I just tried wearing it again today for a couple hours, and the pain is back. It's disappointing because it's very nice and too late to return.
Thank you for this video.. just got the 6 series for Christmas and I was so disappointed.
Thanks solved my problem
This is great to hear !
I had tried this approach before watching your video but I started wearing it closer to my hand again. I am now trying wearing it like you advise again.
The biggest problem for me was not pain so much but my issue was when ever my wrist would bend backwards during physical activity it would depress the crown button and summon Siri. So often it became very annoying. Also on several occasions the back of my hand would press both buttons and start an emergency call. One time I did not realize it and I had the police show up to my job site because my watch called 911 (U.S. emergency number).
I am now wearing it above my wrist once again but unfortunately I have wrist bones that are further from my hand than most, I think. When I am wearing long sleeves it is very inconvenient because my shirt cuff extends about 5 inches beyond my watch. With loose sleeves this isn’t a problem but with tighter sleeves (like a thermal undershirt) it makes my watch inaccessible. Button sleeves on a dress shirt are absolutely out of the question.
Thank you so much! Just got this Apple watch for Christmas and was so bummed out when a few days later I had burning , shooting pain in my wrist going up my arm 😟 I was really concerned and thought something was wrong with me and that I was maybe having a bad reaction to the watch . I will try this and hope that it helps! 🤗
Hope it helped 😂
I am on my 3rd Apple Watch and no problems anymore.
Thank you woo much
Thanks. It worked straight away
I noticed sharp pains In my wrist from wearing a Fitbit and had to return it in thinking maybe it’s from the waves from the smart watch I dunno it’s weird
Rob John whats uuuuuup!
Yep I did realise the same thing, I thought that was something related to the sensors or something.
But I started to using the watch like a mentioned on the video and the pain went away.
I bought a Apple Watch S4 now and it is alright.
Really awkward issue though.
Thanks for your comment :)
Batech ima give this watch a try I see a lot of good reviews on it!
This is how I have been wearing it but that stupid sensor still is painful and irritating. 😶
Bless you for making this video. I couldn’t find any information on this before your video!
I had to stop using a watch about 20 years ago because I had a wrist pain, now I'd like to buy an Apple Watch and I should know what to do now if the pain starts again! Thank you! I love your accent!
I have a Series 3 Stainless Steel 42mm which I hardly wore for years as a result of this pain. I recently (4 days ago) decided to try using the watch again and I had the same issue. After about 2 hours, the dull pain began in my wrist and then began to radiate up toward my elbow - it's a deep pain, it almost feels as though my bones are aching. I took it off and the pain began to subside soon after, as it always does. I must say, the pain has always made me feel like the watch is detrimental to my health, it just does not feel right. This may sound dramatic, but I kid you not, it feels as though radiation is seeping into my body and has always made me scared that the device may - God Forbid - cause cancer if I were to continue to use it. I'm sure that if you have been unfortunate enough to feel this pain, you understand what I mean.
I then thought about using the watch in airplane mode to see if this made a difference. When I put it into airplane mode with WI-FI and Bluetooth off and wore it for 2 days straight, I felt no pain!. This leads me to think it may have something to do with EMF radiation or something else to do with connectivity, (WI-FI, Bluetooth, etc). I have now started to use my watch in this manner. I wear it to track my fitness throughout the day with no pain when it's in airplane mode WITH WI-FI and Bluetooth ALSO off. It isn't paired to my phone most of the day so I can't receive calls, send messages or use data however, I can still track my fitness, A couple of times a day, I turn on my Bluetooth for a couple of minutes to allow for the fitness information (activity rings, steps, workouts, etc) to sync with my phone. It's pretty much a Fitbit now but at least I get some use out of it; the main reason I want to use it these days is for fitness anyway.
Over the years, I had read many comments regarding pain stating that it's the way the watch is worn and I knew this not to be the case for me as I had tried so many different brands, placements, and fittings. If anyone has this pain, try using it with ALL connectivity off and seeing how you feel. I had no issues with my Series 2 in the past. Having read a few forums it seems like the problem is most prevalent in my watch model however not exclusively. It appears it's an issue that people have found across different series. I think our watches may be faulty or maybe we are just hypersensitive to the connectivity being so close to our body for extended periods. I must say, I haven't tried different methods of connectivity on the watch such as just cellular, just WI-FI, just Bluetooth, or different combinations. As I no longer have a cellular data plan, I cannot test this however, I will be trying to play around with connectivity settings over the next few days to see if I can get more use out of the watch without pain. If not, I'll just stick to having a Fitbit Apple Watch!
@Julio Rowel Hiya. I no longer have an pain as I don’t use the connectivity while it’s on my wrist. Unfortunately, I don’t have a data plan on the watch at preset so I can’t comment on using just cellular connectivity.
well done! --- very useful indeed!... and thanks for the english too!
Been wearing Apple Watch for years since the 1st edition, never had that.
You're lucky.
Aimee Inkling Really why? What happened with you?
Yeah RF is something to look at it people don’t know about this topic. iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have the highest RF exposure ever on a smartphone
Trump 2020 it goes the same.the strongest one is
This
From strongest to low
#1 Mobile data
#2 Bluetooth
#3 WiFi
Remember all are bad because they are sending RADIATION when they are ON.
Trump 2020 lest say you are using WIFI make sure to turn off Bluetooth and mobile data so you don’t get double wamming from the other antennas.
How many people really NEED a mini phone on their wrist... Is it necessary or just trendy...and then more importantly...is it Safe?!?
Eu comprei recentemente pela primeira vez um smartwatch e fui logo no Ultra por causa da bateria, mas tenho sentido um certo desconforto usando 24 horas, tem horas que acabo tirando por causa disso. Eu já uso na parte anterior desse osso e também a pulseira está mais frouxa até do que prefiro, a ponto de se sacudir um pouco o braço o relógio move, pois se apertar para ficar firme já sinto desconforto na hora. Acho que o problema é o formato da parte traseira do relógio que é abaloada e isso faz com que todo o peso, mais a pressão da pulseira, se concentre em um ponto só no punho. Se fosse uma traseira flat, o peso se distribuiria uniformemente, como é em um relógio normal. É tão abaloado que o relógio não assenta no pulso, fica meio bambo. Acredito que esse formato seja proposital para que os sensores fiquem bem encostados na pele, mas não é nada confortável paras os músculo e nervos.
É bem por aí, mas você começou com o maior de todos 😂😂
As vezes um mais leve pode ter melhor adaptação. Desde que eu lancei esse vídeo tive todas as versões do Apple Watch e nunca mais senti nada, pode ser costume tbm!
@@BatechYT Pois é, mas parece que o Ultra ainda é mais leve que o de aço por ser de titânio. O de alumínio é bem leve, mas a tela é de vidro e segundo relatos, arranha bem fácil. Como tem tela curva, também não vi opções para proteger que me agradassem.
Vi muitos reviews antes de comprar e não tinha visto ninguém falar de dor, as reclamações eram só sobre a bateria em relação a concorrência. Só quando eu busquei especificamente sobre o assunto é que vi que tem bastante gente sentindo algum desconforto, até mesmo marcas tipo queimadura e não é apenas com o Ultra.
thank you for the video in english!
Will give this a try, thanks man.
I feel the same way I’m actually doing research on it I have the Apple Watch Series 5 and I have the same pain but it’s my whole forearm and it’s from radiation supposedly🤷🏾♂️
Deedee not likely it may just be the physical forces. The apple watch emits les EMF’s than your phone.
Is your arms still hurting. I’m having the same feelings. My doctor said it’s electric currents.
i am a nurse.. i bought mine last yr sept 2018... in my duty i hang it on my pocket near my breast because as a nurse i always wash my hands everytime i touched hospital thingy & patient care.. after 3 wks i noticed my breast had pimple then went bigger everyday, 1 day pimple on my breast popped out and pus came out... thank GOD i did wound culture and result was normal... but i missed my mammogram appointment.. now i dont wear it on my scrub shirt.. and now for 2 wks again if i am going to bath or clean my patient i am putting to my pocket but this time on my leg scrub pants ... and now i noticed i have small green hematoma like appearance.. but subsiding now... i dont know if these were all coincidences or from my iwatch coz sometimes it will automatically on the laser light from the back of my iwatch that detects my heart rate count... now i am just wearing it for my exercises purposes...
The radiation from it can you give you cancer.
Thank you so much this really helped me I thought there was something wrong with me! I’m from the 🇺🇸
samsung also fucked up. . i have serval paint on my left wrist damn it. i spent a lot of money with this shit . Samsung galaxy watch active
That’s sucks.... =(
Have you tried moving its position on your wrist as a suggested on the video ?
I will try it but its not a good solution. People pays a lot of money for those rubish smartwatches and get a strong wrist pain. Its not a wrist prb is a watch problem, those companies should fix the watch problem to dont harm the peoples wrists :/
TheNorthBoy TV totally agree !!!!
There's also the increased risk of cancer that most people are not talking about.
Thank you for choosing the English and I am also facing the same issue from last week so will try to wear as your describe then will share my experience with you soon
This works man... Thank you :)
Thank you
😄
I honestly think there might be an issue with radiation, I am getting worried..
I am on my 5th Apple Watch, sleep with them, and just remove it to take a bath..
No issues.
Your iPhone or cellphone emits more radiation (5g, bigger battery etc..) than a watch if you are worried about something that can emits radiation, your cellphone is near your d*k on the most of your day, that you should be worried if you want to go this path..
😂
Do you think that USA health department that controls even coke, is going to let something that is dangerous?
@@BatechYT the USA health deparment ain't such a big deal ;)
I have the apple watch for 5 days now. I have same experience like you, couldn't find any you tube video about apple watch wrist pain. Thanks a lot for your video. I will try it, hopefully it works for me cause I love apple watch and don't want to return it.
Charles Walser hey thanks for your comment.
Try using it like this as far as you can from your hand, and make sure that it strap is not too tight or too loose.
Hope it works for you! I let the link for the site that I got this tip on the description if you wanna look better.
Thanks again for the comment 😄
Charles Walser and don’t forget to share this video with other Apple Watch friends that may be experiencing the same.
There is either Radial frequency cellular damage or nickel in the material. Either way, you may have to return the unit if you are still experiencing problems. It seems to be a problem with fitbit as well. Got a bad feeling it's the first one. The fitbit Blaze burned me. Seems to be a tech issue across companies. Someone was saying the same thing about Garmin. Until it doesn't harm us, we need to steer clear. Right now, we are Guinea pigs for the testing of man merging with machine.
I tried a 44 mm Apple Watch it was just too heavy for my wrist and the convex underside just put too much pressure on my wrist..painful! What helped me was going to a 40mm it’s much more comfortable...
BTW recently watched a review and he said he could not wear the 44 mm to bed because it was too heavy..my experience exactly..
I’m trying it on the other wrist now. I was wearing the way you suggested and it was painful. I’ll check out your channel because I do speak Portuguese.
Doesn’t work for me. Apple Watch 2 had no problems. Whereas Apple Watch 4 LTE gives me extreme wrist fatigue and pain.
scott vance whats uuuuuup
Hey, I just bought the series 4 and I felt this same thing on the first 2 days, but as I was using Long sleeved shirts the Apple Watch was not on the ideal place. Last couple of days I used on the position that I mentioned and it is just ok now.
Maybe it’s because we are not used with the new shape of the back of this new watch and it takes sometime for our body get used with it.
This issue is really awkward though
Omg, really ? Thanks for your video.
Helio Donizeti Batista HHaha no problem !
RIP headphone users. That intro music is like a shock to the brain. I had to yank my headphones off. I’m deaf now.
Having things on the wrist is actually unhealthy if you think about it, the blood flow is decreasing even slightly and you can tell that the wrist area is pretty sensitive.
Thank you so much!
I will try this!
Thanks
Top, valeu pela dica
Drive-thru BR estamos juntos !
Que nice!!!!! 👏👏 very proud of you
I took mines off n gave my Apple Watch to my mom n I have the versa they both doing the same way I think these watches has toooo much radiation be careful Yaris really uncomfortable and painful sometimes I can feel it still even tho I stopped wear them smh
There are 7 generations of Apple Watches where millions of people are using it around the globe without any medical problem reported.
Your iPhone generates more radiation than a microwave and you are afraid of the watch but probably sleeps beside your iPhone... lol
Hello nonsense
Thank you!
Please make it Hindi or scribe in hindi
I feel your pain
Thank You!!
Thank you :D
Ohhh ❤️
I’m facing this issue now ans I am gonna sell my watch. This radiation is not good.
Loads of radiation I’ve had the series 6 for 1 day and I can feel the radiation ☢️ don’t need that in my life
Cool!
Lucas Rocha thanks man !
gostei, estava querendo um video assim, mas para você isso não é tao interessante, por que temos diversos videos sobre tecnologia em ingles e poucos e português, se fizer dois canais fica top
Doesn’t work if your arms aren’t skinny sticks
Sad =(
Just keep the Bluetooth & WiFi off... Or keep the watch on airplane mode
But what is the point of having an Apple Watch?
LOL
I've been seeing this advice all day. I've been experiencing a great deal of pain and I'm going to try this out.
Tell me if it works for you =)
Thanks it worked! Obrigado cara, ajudou muito, senti na hora a diferença, me sinto muito burro de não ter percebido antes haha.
💙
