    I do not know either, and that's why I am suggesting you consult a specialist who can tell you better. Or change the strap to see whether it helps. Or to stop wearing the device. I am sorry, but I cannot help more…

    Right.  My first Instinct, I kept it on 24/7 without taking it off to clean.  Caused skin irritation.  Lesson learned.

  • RE: I have developed an itchy rash under my watch band. I am wondering if anyone knows what the band is made of? Has anyone found a band that resolves this issue?

    Exactly the same here. I also clean the band every few days of sunscreen, sweat, and soap residue. Since then, absolutely no more skin irritation.

    Do you get skin irritation when the watch is permanently so tight?

    I wear my watch very loosely and yet it can capture all the readings.

    Normally, if it were a skin irritation issue, this can be resolved by replacing the band. In this case, I would suggest contacting Garmin directly - https://support.garmin.com
