Has anyone had any issues with their fitbit charge irritating their wrist? Mine is making my wrist sore and looks like a burn. Just wondering if its me or happening to other people as well.

    Be sure to wipe your skin dry after sweating or if you wash your hands. I have had issues in the past with rubber type watch bands causing irritation and my doctor told me its usually caused by the moisture being trapped in for too long. I can't wear those rubber bracelets like the "Live Strong" types for long but I haven't had any real issues with my Fitbit, but I have only been wearing it for 2 weeks.

    Keep it Clean
    Keep it Dry
    Don’t Wear it Too Tight
    Give your Wrist a Rest

    If you start to experience redness or skin irritation on your wrist, remove your device. If symptoms persist longer than 2–3 days of not using your device, contact a dermatologist.

    I had to stop wearing it like a watch and start wearing it like a bracelet.
    I swap wrists quite regularly which is good for your brain.
