Quatix 6 watch or silicon band causing rash in two locations.

Have been using Quatix 6 (very similar to Fenix 6 Pro) for a couple of months, running, cycling, not swimming or boating yet.

Suddenly developed a rash on left wrist in two locations, one on top of the wrist bone, another on the opposite side.

I wear Quatix with silicon band it came with, blue quick fit 22mm kind, sometimes 24/7. Before Quatix owned Fenix 3 for

almost 4 years with two different Garmin proprietary silicon bands without any rashes or sensitivity at all,same activities

running, cycling, swimming, boating. Never had to remove Fenix 3 in shower, rub with alcohol or other maintenance.

 

Has something changed with Fenix 22mm bands? I changed wrist but don't feel comfortable to be honest, especially while

running. Meanwhile, after checking few threads on subject of silicon bands rashes sent pictures to Garmin Product support

since looks different from other cases. Switching to other band kinds sounds like the only option but I wish Garmin would

inform in advance about issues with silicon bands.
