Every Apple Watch user loves their wearable device. It monitors their physical activity and motivates them to achieve their fitness goals. It even plays music, tells them the weather, and shows them what's on their calendar. It checks your heart health and gives directions too. More than those, the Apple Watch can also authenticate your digital access to secure systems. 

While this Apple wearable device has several uses, some Apple Watch users complain that their arm hurts while wearing the device.

CAN APPLE WATCH CAUSE ARM NUMBNESS?

Apple Watch is an excellent wearable device. It can track your heart rate and exercise and even send notifications from your iPhone. However, it can also cause some side effects, like arm numbness.

Several users have complained about Apple Watch causing numbness in their arms. This is due to its tight fit around the wrist, which leads to restricted blood flow. Some users have found ways to avoid this problem by wearing their watch slightly looser or with a band with holes for ventilation.

Here are some tips that may help you:

Change the way you wear your Apple Watch: You may not be wearing your Apple Watch correctly if you are experiencing arm numbness. Try loosening up the strap or changing how you wear it, so it is more comfortable on your wrist. Try different bands, such as ones with holes for ventilation or wider bands made of rubber or silicone.

Check if it's too tight: If your watch seems too tight on your wrist and there is no room for adjustment, this could be one of the reasons why you are experiencing arm numbness after using the Apple Watch for a while. By rubbing, you should check for any scratches or marks on your watch face.

DOES YOUR ARM HURT FROM WEARING YOUR APPLE WATCH? 

Several threads have circulated online about wrist issues and problems with their arms hurting while wearing the Apple Watch. Some notice that their Apple wearable device does not fit their wrist well, thus causing them pain. The thing is, not all people can wear an Apple Watch. Some individuals experience reactions to materials. These include nickel, which is in prolonged contact with their skin. 

Do you experience redness, swelling, itchiness, or any other irritation or any other kind of pain or discomfort around or beneath your watch or band? How about pain in your arm? Apple suggests removing your Apple Watch and consulting a doctor or physician before wearing your device again. You see, skin reactions can be a result of various causes. These include the following:

• Allergies to some materials (including nickel)
• Extended exposure to irritants (such as soap or sweat)
• Environmental factors
• Wearing the watch band too tightly or too loosely

Apple also suggests that you wear your Apple Watch with the right fit. It means that the strap of your wearable device should not be too tight or too loose. It also should have room for your skin to breathe. This way, it will keep you comfortable and, at the same time, it will let the sensors do their job.

HOW CAN I MAKE MY APPLE WATCH MORE COMFORTABLE?

How to make your Apple Watch more comfortable

If you're looking for ways to make your Apple Watch more comfortable, here are a few tips:

Use a wrist strap. The standard rubber band with the Apple Watch tends to slip off during workouts and other activities. If you use the watch for exercise or want to wear it while showering or swimming, consider using an additional band that can be secure around your wrist. Some bands are made of leather, while others are made of metal. Both types can be found at retail stores or online.

Raise the screen brightness. If you find yourself squinting at the screen during everyday use, try increasing the brightness level on your watch. To do this, go into Settings > Brightness & Text Size and move the slider until it's right for your eyesight.

FINDING THE RIGHT STRAP FOR YOUR WRIST

Is your Apple Watch band too big or too small for your wrist? Fortunately, you can return the strap without returning your Apple Watch. 

If you recall, Apple's policy required you to return your Apple Watch with the ill-fitting watch strap before receiving a replacement. For example, when people purchase an Apple Solo Loop band or Braided Solo Loop Band, they often experience struggles in finding the right fit. 

There are methods you can use to get the right Apple Watch Band size. 

• Using the Apple Printable Guide

You can find a printable guide you can download on the Apple webpage for Apple Solo Loop. This tool can help you determine the correct size of your Solo Loop Band. To measure your wrist using the printable tool provided by Apple, you only have to follow these steps: 

1. First, print the printable tool after you download it. Make sure that the page in the printer options is in a setting wherein it can print at 100 percent and not be scaled to fit.
2. Next, place a credit card in the sizing area on the printed page. It is to ensure that you print the tool at the correct Size. 
3. Then, take a pair of scissors and carefully cut out the wrist sizing tool. 
4. Next, place the case shape on your wrist, where you will usually have the watch face. 
5. Then, wrap the printed paper tool tightly around your wrist. You can use some tape to hold the wide part in place. You should ensure that the printed paper feels snug and does not slide around. 
6. The number the arrows point to is your band size. 

Are the arrows pointing to a line? If it does, you should choose the smaller option of the two numbers closest to it. 

• Using a Measuring Tape

You don't have to worry if you do not have a printer at home. You can still get the Size by using a household measuring tape. To measure your wrist using a household measuring tape, make sure to follow these simple instructions: 

1. First, tightly wrap the tape measure around where you usually wear your Apple Watch. You have to make sure that it is not loose but remains comfortable. 
2. Next, take note of the measurement. 
3. After you finally have the measurement, round it to half a centimeter above. 

• Using a Ruler, Paper, and Pen

Do you have a printer at home or a tape measure? There is still a way to work out your band size. All you need is paper, scissors, a ruler, and a pen or pencil. 

Here's how you can use a ruler, paper, and pen to measure your wrist: 

1. First, use the scissors to cut out a narrow strip of paper. It should be about one-half inch wide using the length of the paper. 
2. Next, wrap the strip of paper around your wrist. Make sure it is tight enough. It should feel comfortable but not loose. 
3. Then, use a pen or pencil to mark the point on the paper where the end of the strip overlaps the other end. If it helps, you can use some tape to hold the paper. 
4. Next, lay the strip of paper on a flat surface. Use the ruler to measure the distance between the end and the part you marked. Note the exact measurement. 
5. Select the Solo Loop option on Apple's order page for an Apple Watch or individual bands. 
6. Under the Band Size, select the Start your band measurement option. 
7. Next, tap or click the Household objects tab in the size guide window that appears. 
8. Then, click the "Got it. What's next?" option.
9. Enter the measurement you noted down. You can enter it in inches and fractions of an inch or centimeters. 
10. Next, click or tap the Get your band size option. 
11. After that, select the recommended Size when your band size options appear. Then, tap or click Continue.
