My garmin has burnt my wrist!!!!

So yesterday my Vivo active 3 strap stared to get warm I didn’t think anything else of it until it got really hot. My wrist started to tingle and itch so I immediately took it off only to find it has burnt my wrist. ( pictures are attached. I hadn’t been training and the battery was around 40%. Every time I call garmin I can’t seem to get through. Has this happened anyone else before?

    This happens to me with all garmin wristbands, nomatter what clock.

    Buy a wristband of a different brand (20 mm) no matter if cheap or expensive it will solve the Problem.

    Shame on Garmin!

    You're not the first to have this issue. My "I Wear A Garmin" badge appeared within a week after getting the watch. A new band solves the problem. [Maybe we should find a lawyer with the rash, and start a class action suite?]
