Is anyone's Forerunner 45 causing pain in the the back of their hand?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I've noticed a pain developing in my the back of my hand, knuckles, wrist and forearm over the last 3 weeks to the point where I'm losing function in my hand e.g. loss of grip and dexterity.

The only difference in the last 3 weeks has been to swap my normal watch with my new Garmin Forerunner 45 so I took it off yesterday and the pain subsided considerably. I've looked online and this seems a common issue with fitness trackers, not just Garmin but Fitbit also. Is anyone else experiencing these symptoms?

Thanks.

I received my Forerunner 45 today. After wearing it for about 5 minutes I realized some strange pain/numbness.
