AppleWatch Wrist Pain?

So… I have a older model of apple watch, series 3 Aluminum. Something weird is starting to happen. I’m very good with keeping my watch not too tight or too loose but there is a pain that randomly shoots through my wrist of the watch that started about 3 days ago. I take it off every time it gives me a little sting but today I got 3 in a row. Does anybody know what it is?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

I had the Apple Watch Series 6 and had the same issues. It’d cause numbing of my wrist and forearm so I initially switched wrists to see if it would do the same. Sure enough, it did. After taking it off for a week, ALL symptoms went away. So I then confirmed it was my watch. A medical provider is going to tell you this is more than likely an issue with EMF radiation emissions and to not wear it. Also they’ll ask if you are wearing it too tightly and recommend loosening it. I tried that too… to where it was sloppy on my wrists and it still caused me issues. I

upgraded to the series 8 and am not experiencing those issues any longer. I also received input from some friends and family who also experienced this same problem. It’s not just you. I think apple should really look into them.
