According to the report, some units of the health-centric wearable became heated to the point that the display got damaged and it burned the user’s wrist in one instance. Some said they stumbled upon the issue while their watch was charging and others felt a burning sensation when it was on their wrist.
The issue cropped up within several days of usage and a telltale sign of self damage is a yellow spot on the screen spotted by affected uses.
The problem seems to be originating from the area above the display connectors, between the Taptic Engine and the Digital Crown.
Out of the six users who have come forward with the issue, three have received a refund from Apple. The headquarters will get back with a personal response in the coming days.
Here are some pictures of the problematic units:
