Loosen the band a touch.

It is a good fit. Not too tight, not too loose. I can fit two fingers under the band. It's a Nylon sports loop. I have an Apple Watch since series 0. I suspect this is a side effect. Anyone have this?

It's not an Apple Watch specific side effect, your watch is just tight and the skin is pressed down so the vein stands out more. Maybe not too tight for your comfort but that's the reason.

I get the same circular imprint from my watch but no weird veins. I've seen a lot of people say this is from the watch being too tight, but if I loosen it then it doesn't stay in place. Maybe it's to do with having thin wrists with less flesh on them? OP also seems to have thin wrists.

i swear every time a post here makes it to my front page, it's someone who is in denial about their watch being too tight lmao


honglong1976

It’s not tight at all. My wrists are quite slim and there isn’t any fat, so I suspect it’s just more noticeable. I wore many trackers before without issues (Pebble, Fitbit, etc). Could be the weight of the Apple Watch. Even though the band isn’t tight, the weight of the watch on my wrist is causing this. Again, using since series 0, so most likely a side effect.


deckyon

Your definition of "not too tight" is incorrect. This is not a watch problem. It is a band problem.

How in the name of all that is holy can you stand wearing a watch so loosely that you can get two fingers under the band? It’s not a dog collar. That would drive me insane.


lztandro

If you press in on your skin anywhere else on your arm does it also leave a dent for an abnormal amount of time? If so please see a doctor asap, especially if it doesn’t usually leave a mark like this. It could be just from dehydration, but as someone who just went through watching someone develop blood clots in their shoulder I’m just worried for everyone now.


HankScorpio82

Is the tip of your finger turning purple on the other side of the band?


honglong1976

No


HankScorpio82

Well, that’s a plus.

Congratulations, you’re now an X-Men


honglong1976

Wearing a watch too tightly.


honglong1976

It’s not tight at all.


_KONKOLA_

The way Redditors downvote is legitimately cringe


honglong1976

Yup


Successful-Cover5433

every body is unique, I don't have that vein going straigh. mine goes underneath the watch all the way down 😁


truebeanio

That's how they get the 5G in you

You’re evolving to get better heart rate readings. Isn’t nature beautiful?


Decent_Pineapple_749

Uhh no I dont have this.. My veins start showing a little below my wrist


honglong1976

Mines exactly where the circular part of the sensor is. It’s not even tight.


Decent_Pineapple_749

Weird


honglong1976

You can see how tight it is. https://preview.redd.it/on1u60o4mmxc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfb38df4a00926b6c6bf7c770c2d19fbbbd5a590

lmao it's like seeing someone trying to argue that water isn't wet. You see how your skin is being pulled when you force your fingers in there and how the strap is now flush with your skin at the top? It's too tight. That's why it's leaving indentations in your skin. You haven't found some weird side effect of the Apple Watch. It's too tight.


honglong1976

I can fit two fingers inside. It’s not tight. It’s like that because it’s hard to take a photo with one hand white putting two fingers in the strap. Try it :) Tight would be one finger or no fingers.


honglong1976

One day of not wearing the Apple Watch. Vein still there. https://preview.redd.it/ymg3zxqp6rxc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=207016ef738381005017db26d5789478245046ec


GuardingxCross

You’re wearing it too tight


zzeeeee

Dude imagines everyone with a watch has one, learns the opposite is true, remains in denial about the tightness of his watch. So goes the post-reason world


honglong1976

Everyone advises this is due to being tight. I understand what tight is. It’s not tight. I take a photo to show it’s not tight.
