Samsung Galaxy Watch is amongst one of the best smartwatches currently available. The watch packs in a bunch of features, most of which are fairly useful. And all that comes in a sleek body that’s well designed. However, not all is great about the watch. Galaxy Watch owners have been complaining about an overheating issue since the very beginning.
The reports about the Galaxy Watch overheating issue popped up back in 2018 when it was launched. Owners of the Samsung Galaxy Watch took to Reddit and Samsung’s community forums to report the issue. Unfortunately, the South Korean giant has not addressed the problem yet. Additional user complaints are still being spotted on Reddit and Samsung’s forums.
Unlike a smartphone’s overheating, when a watch overheats, it causes rashes and marks on the skin. This is because the watch is in contact with the skin for a long period of time. Users have shared images of these marks as well to support their claim about the Galaxy Watch overheating issue. Here’s a user report that was written on Samsung’s community forum:
“My watch started over heating today has caused a mark on my wrist anybody else suffered this? I have the galaxy wear.,never experienced this before. Left it to cool down twice as soon as I pick it up it and put in on it starts overheating again. Has been cooling down for 2 hours does not seem to be cooling.”
There are dozens of other similar reports of users experiencing the problem. Furthermore, a couple of users have reported that they are facing the problem on their Galaxy Watch Active 2 as well (source). A similar problem was reported by a Twitter user as well.
