Samsung Galaxy Watch users report potential overnight burns

Reports have emerged from users on platforms such as Reddit claiming that wearing Samsung Galaxy Watch devices overnight has resulted in skin irritation, redness, and blisters resembling burns. The reports specifically mention the area around the device's sensors.

Affected models cited in user discussions include the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. While some users describe these incidents as thermal burns, dermatological experts note that wearable electronics can also cause allergic skin reactions that may appear similar to heat injuries.

At this time, there is no verified primary source confirming a specific device defect, nor has Samsung issued an official statement regarding these claims. Because the reports lack specific details such as software versions or physical inspections of the devices, it remains unconfirmed whether the injuries are caused by device overheating or skin sensitivity.
