Following the disturbing news that Apple Watch does not function properly when worn over tattoos, now there are complaints that the new wearable also causes skin redness and irritation in some people. On the other hand, Apple has responded to the complaints on Twitter, Reddit, as well as other websites saying that perhaps users are wearing the device improperly.

Apple Inc. released a statement on its website recently, which reads, "For best results, the back of Apple Watch needs skin contact for features like Wrist Detect, the Taptoc Engine, and the heart rate sensor." The statement further says, "Wearing your Apple Watch with the right fit - not too tight, not too loose, and with room for your skin to breathe - will keep you comfortable and let the sensors do their jobs. You may want to tighten your Apple Watch band for workouts, and then loosen it when you're done. In addition, the sensors will only work if you wear Apple Watch on the top of your wrist."

IB Times reports that the images of an inflamed wrist due to wearing an Apple Watch first appeared on the Italian news website Ispazio, which mentioned about similar complaints when FitBit's Eponymous fitness tracker initially became popular. Last year, the company recalled the FitBit Force, a fitness tracker with a rubber wristband, following complaints from users that led the San Francisco-based company to recognize that a number of the materials used in the band were responsible for the allergic reactions.

According to the report, that explanation seemed very similar to what one Reddit user said in a post, "wondering if any other customers had experienced the annoying skin reaction."

The Reddit user wrote, "I'm waiting to hear back from their engineering team as to what the next step would be," adding, "I'd hate to not to be able to use the watch, since it's freaking awesome, but the irritation for long periods of time would be way too much to handle -- and it's definitely because of the watch."
