Same here. I can loose strap so it moves on my hand all the time a bit but still marks on hand just like original poster here. Years passed and no any serious problems with my hand. I sometimes put my watch on right hand when go sleep, and next day left is like 90% recovered

No issue here. Outside of activitty i wear it loose. Never had marks like on your pictures. Even after activity when i have watch tight.

@Alex-Jurkiewicz @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I am leaving it to heal for now. Interesting is that it started just recently. Today I had the watch on on my right hand just for a 30 min exercise and I had red marks, and it was not tight. Starting to think that I have developed an allergy.

@OutdoorMan did your previouse watch was made out of different material type?

@OutdoorMan contact dermatitis is not an allergy. You can speak to your GP for more info, it’s reasonably common

@OutdoorMan Unfortunately the best thing to do to heal from contact dermatitis is to just stop wearing any wearables for a couple days until it heals.

Internet says: Contact dermatitis is an itchy rash caused by direct contact with a substance or an allergic reaction to it.

@strain Yes this is what I am doing. I just hope it won’t return straight away.

Maybe the permanent light from the LEDs bringing some irritation to the skin? Sometimes I think that the light shining 24/7 on it isn’t really a healthy situation. I wish Suunto give us the option to turn back to former 10-minute-readings.
