BUTT smell w Apple Watch band

I’ve been so embarrassed to tk off my watch in public, as since I’ve hd it my wrist burst forth w the awful smell of stinky butt. I finally contacted Apple and they said no one else, hd complained of this issue. It is truly awful and a spritz of perfume or hand cream won’t work - u hv to hv access to vigorous strong soap and water scrub !!

apple watch smell there's plenty online about the watch band smelling like vinegar or cheese... however, I'm convinced that the smell is coming from the watch itself. the band can easily be detached and washed and the smell goes away. How do you get rid of the smell coming from the inside of the watch? I'm sure the water gets in through the cracks and it's all moldy inside. do you have to eject the water out of the watch every time you get near some water? that can prevent it, maybe..... but how to get rid of the smell now that it SMELLS??? it leaves my wrist smelling so bad. makes me want to vomit! thanks!

Apple Watch Series 6 Burn Marks where the sensor sits I’ve wore Apple Watches for years now and never had any issues but this week I noticed burn marks on the top of my wrist where the sensor sits. I only wear my watch during the day and never sleep in it. I have the Nike band so it breathes better and less likely to have moisture trapped under the band. I clean my watch 4 times a week after work. I have no marks anywhere the band sits. The burn does not hurt, does not itch, just looks like a small burn. Anybody know what causes this? I see where thousands of other people are having this issue as well but not seeing an answer to what is going on!
