Watch detection issue

Hello Apple, I am here in regards to my Apple Watch not detecting my wrist given that I have a tattoo on it. I feel that an update is needed to give him that he should be inclusive to everyone including myself, and I should not be forced to wear it on my other wrist. Thankfully I have the option but if I was fully tattooed it would not work which is disappointing to say the least!

It is true that some inks used will block the wrist detection and heartbeat. They rely in changes in light conductivity. This happens with other makes of watch. You have no choice but to use the other wrist.
