Apple Watch series 8 Is there an issue with Apple software on Apple Watch series 8, it’s the workout apps which seem to have an issue with tattoos on my arm, I can’t see it been a hardware problem since the Watch has no problem monitoring everything else, it works on my other arm which has no tattoos, is there a way of resolving this issues as I should not have to changed wrist while working out it

smart watch and tattoos I have tattoos on both arms (full sleeve) down to the wrist. When I used an old Fitbit strap it worked. Later I realised this was because it had two green LED's and so at least one was getting a reading. Now with a later Fitbit device it does not. A single green LED is provided. As a consequence I need to wear it upside down to connect to a small area that is largely tattoo free. Does Apple provide a watch with two sensors or have a roadmap on their product line to consider this ? Lots of people have tats. I would absolutely consider buying an Apple Watch if this was addressed as I have an Apple Ecosystem (MAC, Phone, iPads)

Apple does not read this user-to-user technical support forum for feedback.

As such, we would not know about future products.

But guessing, the opaque ink will still block the light sensors on the bottom of the Apple Watch.
