Again. Stop wearing it and go see your doctor.

It has everything to do with "going to see a doctor".

I don't know what you find "disrespectful" about that answer.

You have a medical problem, not a technical problem.

If a light next to your skin is causing you pain, you need to have that evaluated by a qualified medical professional.

How exasperating this is. Again the question was posed”…has anyone else experienced discomfort after wearing the watch”. I had. I reported. Yes this is an anecdote but if you get a lot of anecdotes you may infer a trend. Apple needs to investigate. It is their product. Incidentally after removing the watch for one day the pain and lumps in my thumb are improving.

I absolutely believe in science. I also pay attention to evidence (just like science)

A suspicion is not a conclusion. Coming to a conclusion prior to examining all of the evidence is not scientific. Sorry.
