Hi everyone! I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for a long time. But for as long as I recall having a watch I’ve wore it a bit too tight, but never really thought twice. It’s left a pretty big indent in my arm. And I’m wondering if it’ll ever recover? I believe it’s starting to actually cause wrist pain and grip issues but I am doing exams right now so I’ll have to wait to see if that’s what’s causing it and not my watch. I really just want to know if the indent will leave after a while and if not how to help it be less noticable (and if my grip has been affected, a way to help that too).

Let your wrist breathe. Damn.

The sensors are pretty good. A little bit of wiggle room isn’t going to lead to cruddy data. Unless you’re very active, there’s no real need to clamp the watch to your wrist so hard.

Personal rule of thumb for any watch is to still be able to just about fit my pinky finger through the strap while it’s on my wrist.

I’m afraid it’s permanent.

Are you getting it around your ankles while wearing socks (assuming you wear socks)? If so, might be time to see your doctor and get a blood panel. Otherwise, loosen up the watch a bit.

No my socks don’t do that so it’s probably just me wearing my watch way too tight lol

I’m sorry, it’s fatal

[–] marcelocampiglia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Probably yes 👍

[–] thewearableguy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No, sorry :/

Your skin will bounce back. Don’t worry too much. Besides that just wear your watch looser. You should always be able to put 1 finger thru from the bottom of the watch band

Zox bands, you'll never look back

Google “peripheral edema” and freak yourself out

Oh that’s just what my dad has that’s not too bad I’ve seen it for years

[–] Aion2099@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Of course it will.

Once you draw a circle on an image you’ll need to use photoshop to remove it.

Too tight and not drinking enough water

[–] GachaCat-Productions@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I mean that makes sense also because I find I never hydrate enough most days

Obviously the guy has anxiety issues. Yes it will go away. Wear tight socks see what happens to your legs…

With the help of a saw, that arm can easily be removed.

Where should we start cutting? Elbow? Shoulder?

[–] GachaCat-Productions@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m feeling quite generous, let’s go from the shoulder!

No, you are doomed.
